Hard work with a spade and grub-axe, is the only solution. But I
strongly recommend getting one of the latter, as it will make the
work MUCH easier. Those devices are also known as pick-mattocks,
and consist of a pick one side and a 4" wide blade at right angles
to the handle the other. When you lift one, it seems like a tool
for a hairy-armed navvy, but they are remarkably easy to use.

Somebody out there *knows* I've forgotten who borrowed my mattock.
I'll be round to collect it if I ever remember who it was :~[
