Nitrogen fixing beans




The ability of beans and other legumes to fix nitrogen in the soil is
understood. However, I'm wondering if it's necessary to return the
chopped up bean plants to the bed in which they grew in order to take
advantage of that nitrogen or is the nitrogen simply left behind after
the bed is cleared?

I would like to grow lettuce and other leaf crops in this bed next year.
