We had a small, 1/8 acre garden when I was a kid, and we always burnt it
off in the fall..I think the prime purpose was disease preventing and to
keep bugs from overwintering. It also made it easy to till under in the
Spring.

fields/gardens every year or two. Would that accomplish the same
result? Is it even allowed anymore?
