Green manures are one of those fabled answers to bare ground - everyone suggests growing them but very few people actually have done - or if they have, they don't do it again!
They seem to me to be more about hard work than making life easy over winter. Most of them aren't edible - just don't see the point myself.
I grow Wizard field beans (and Aquadulce) over winter but not as a green manure but to give me some early beans to eat.
I chuck all my unwanted lettuce and brassica seeds on vacant ground - gives the chooks something to eat as well as me.
