Do I Need To Remove Soil From Raised Free Standing Cedar Planter For Winter? Do I Cover Planters, Zone 6

4 ft long 3 ft high cedar free standing planters. Do I remove soil and bleach planters as some say or leave soil in and cover planters as others state? First time gardening and I am older with back pain.

I prefer leaving and amending the soil each year. It is much less work, and will yield the results that you seek. The drawback to leaving it in the winter will be that it will degrade the bed faster.
