Default What do I do about my lawn?

Here are a couple more photos for you too. One showing the skinny poured
concrete patio across the back of the house and one showing all the
concrete I've pulled out so far! The garden was more concrete than patio
to start with

I'm struggling to get one lump of concrete out though - it's about 2ft x
2ft and the same again deep. The pole that was in it was so rotten that
when I tried to wiggle it to move the concrete, the pole snapped clean
off. There's now about 6 inches of metal poking out of the concrete so
I've got no choice but to excavate it as it's dangerous and I can't bury
it with turf but it's going to be a nightmare! I only just managed to
get the other lump out by myself, although I've no idea how I'm going to
move it from the pile I've made at the top of the garden haha. It's so
solid I'm not sure I'll be able to break it apart as every time I hit
it, it sinks into the lawn.

Can't say I advise excavating this amount of concrete single handedly,
I'm pretty bruised! It'll be worth it though to get rid of it all
