Have any of you ever had to clear out a raised planter bed thats full of brush that you don't want in it ?

HOW do you do it ?
It makes me cringe just looking at it- its full of grapevines and honeysuckle bushes.
How do I clear it out on my own?

any and all advice is welcome plz
thank U !

A good, pitchfork; the kind with wide flat tines pointed at end like a triangle. Garden pitchfork, not manure pitchfork.

Yeah, there's no real easy way. But you do have to get the roots out or they'll sprout right back up. You may turn a hose on and let it saturate the ground to make it easier to pull. Then when it's good and soaked, start in one corner and work your way around methodically.

Take breaks when you get tired but come back and do more. It may take a day or two or three days, depending on the size of your planter, and your energy and time limits. I used a spade and pick-ax. It was grueling but satisfying when done - and much better planting.

I couldn't do a tiller because the size of the planter rows on mine was too small to try to wield a tiller.
