In the wild and in a few southern forum members gardens the stems will be left intact to slowly drain/decompose and revitalize the soil with the nutrients that are left in the stem.
Just like out in the forest...trees fall over and decompose.
On the other hand many members also cut the stem to tidy up the garden/farm area and add the refuse to the compost pile.
