Why are lower leaves of cabbages so horrible?

They have holes - and yellowing - and grey spots - and mildewey
loooking
areas - to such an extent that I daren't put them on the compost heap!

What's going on?
And what should I do?

They are in that condition mainly because they are 'spent' and ready for
the compost heap.
