yes I’ve done plenty like that in the past but that was in the good old days of simazine. I don’t fancy ploughing much at all now and I certainly wouldn’t be leaving it in the furrow as it’s me that combines and sprays them and I don’t have a power Harrow!
The Best, most paying arable crop I have ever grown was the last w beans I grew , didnt do anything to the field after ploughing until the combine went in, no levelling no spray herb, or fung. Yes was a bit lucky I guess.
Best bitbis theres no fudgy ness leaving in the ploughing, no water run off or smudge. Etc.

What I've done with w bean s ( few years ago now) is spread them on the ( clean) stubble and just ploughed them in .
Was an accepted way if doing it in the past.
Plough not too deep though about 5, 6 or 7 inches max if you can.

I never even cultivated over after either . ( contractor used to cut them :sneaky:)
Obviously try to do a good ploughing job.
Always ploughed them in did 3 weeks ago now emerging
