Default Field beans (as green manure) - When should I dig them in?


Hi,
I planted some field beans on my vegetable plot back in November (as
green manure). They are now about 8" tall, on average. I gather the
idea is to dig them in at some stage. When should I do this, and is
there any special method to observe? For example, if I turn the soil,
how deep should the fork/spade go prior to turning?

Thank you,

JD
