I'd go for green manure, it will save having to weed the bed too
I've got rows of salad leaves and other plants that I have been unable to use. They are going funny in the colder weather. Is it best to leave them like a 'green manure' or dig them out and stick in the compost bin?

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Personally, I'd pull them up and add them to the compost bin. They will decompose quicker combined with other materials in a compost heap. Left as they are, you'll probably be faced in spring with some slime and some thick, un-decomposed stems. So you'll have to pull them up then and put them on the compost.
There are neither rights nor wrongs in gardening. Only experiences.
