The job will be much easier using the right tool, which is a mattock
(or a pickaxe would do if that's what you happen to have).A mattock
looks a bit like a pickaxe but has a pointy smashing bit at one end of
the blade and a broader flat digging edge at the other.(Use each end to
break into the soil round a clump, hack roots or winkle underneath
them..then use the handle as a lever). Either borrow, or buy one for a
fraction of £500 at a builder's yard.

Should I leave them for
another six months and risk the wrath of SWMBO?

Do not incite the wrath of SWMBO! We really mean it.

Thanks for your advice!
