I decant the whole sack into an old dustbin (for storage) and use a
garden fork to break it up. When I take compost from the bin to a
potting tray I use a handfork if it needs to be broken up even finer;
and add grit to lighten it.
We fortunate enough last year to find a branch of Lidl selling off
some electric cement/plaster /paint stirrers for £5 like this one.

So far it has stirred and mixed compost soil etc fine in a dustbin,
plus some jobs doing what it was designed for.
At £5 if it only lasts a couple of seasons it will be a bargain, don't
know what the pre clearance price was .
If cheap enough when it comes around again it might be an idea for
some.
Wow, what a bargain boy toy....when's his birthday..
I'll watch out for one, thanks.
