Default what to do with turnip greens?

I lack composting facilities. As a substitute, how far
under would you bury them at the end of the year?


a few inches is plenty, if your area doesn't get
deep freezes they'll be gone by spring.

better yet, chop the tops off and leave them on
the surface to dry in the sun before burying them.
the worms will make quick work of them after that.
