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 !

Cut and dig out the root system. it's a lot of work but you need to remove the main root stem otherwise it will just keep coming back.
Another option is to cut to the main root and spray with brush killer. You wont be able to plant for 2 weeks but you won't have to dig.

I was thinking maybe a good rain soak then go out and start digging ?
Im dreading this SO bad lol
As long as you cut back the vines first, dig away! Drier soil is easier to work with than wet, depending on the type it is.
If you go the cut and spray route, always spray the plants/roots. Not the soil.

seems everything comes up easier in wet soil than dry tho

It does, but drier soil leaves more soil behind. Wet soil, your root ball will come out with more soil stuck to it, making it heavier and possibly having to add more if too much comes out.
Sometimes you can't wait for it to dry out, and by dry out I don't mean bone dry. More like dry enough where if you were to have a chunk of soil it would easily and readily crumble.
As long as it's not water logged you should be ok.
