With chest height weeds I doubt turning the soil will help much.
You might want to think about sheet/cardboard mulching the area. Will help with the weeds and get the soil ready for some planting in Spring.
Essentially lay cardboard down on the area, cover it with some organic matter, water it and let it breakdown over autumn and winter.

What a lovely transformation!
My garden is far, far worse. We're talking chest height weeds completely filling a relatively small plot. I'm also renting so I don't want to invest too much in the garden - I'm mainly looking for advice on suppressing weeds.
Would buying a pitchfork and turning all the soil do anything? It's quite hot at the moment so I thought it might be good to expose the roots of all the weeds.
