[Scpg] Green Manure

[Michael and Trish Hernandez]

Fava Beans with out rototilling. Our garden is covered with a  
gorgeous winter cover crop. What's the best way to chop and drop the  
beans without rototilling? Chop then, then cover them with more  
mulch? How much of the root needs to be tilled back into the soil?  
I've read that we need to mulch the beans and let them the area sit  
for 2 weeks before planting, which is now! Would love some feedback.
