How would I remove this brush

Question

What would be the easiest method to remove all of this dead weeds and grass ?

Answer 1

Pretty close to the building to be doing burning. It would not be my choice.

If there is an out-of-sight place on your land you can start yourself a mulch pile. Get your wheelbarrow. Get your garden shears. Pull on a chunk. Cut with the shears to give yourself manageable chunks that will fit in the wheelbarrow. Load up the wheelbarrow and take it to the mulch pile. Once there just tip on the pile.

If a mulch pile is not on, you will need to bag and dispose. Your local city rules will tell you when and how you can dispose of yard waste. Maybe you must use special bags and put them out on particular days. Use the garden shears to cut the larger bits. That way you can get more in a bag. If the stuff pulls up easily, bang off any soil clinging on. If it does not pull up easily, just cut it off at the ground and leave the dead roots. You should be able to break them up with your spade. You should be able to get all this pile in one big bag, two at most.

You might try attacking with a "weed whacker." That will mean you get a bunch of small bits. This has the disadvantage that this debris is now in small bits over the area. But, depending on exactly what's in there, this might rot away fairly quickly. Much like fallen leaves do. Or you could try raking up the small bits. Maybe try that with a small portion of the pile and try to judge what is the easier method.
