possible good way of digging?

(As long as the soil is light enough.)

Push spade fully into earth.
Push it forward, letting topsoil fall into the space created behind the
spade.

I'd like to see you do it on my allotment! The soil is very clay-ey;
sticks like mad when wet, sets like concrete when dry.
I do add manure and mushroom compost but not enough.
I cnnot dig with a spade as there are too many stones, so I don't dig
much at all!
