To break up and separate stones etc, a Chillingham Hoe if you can get
one. Best not done when soil is the consistency of mud. Wait till it is
nearly dry. Plus muscle power.



Sorry - Chillington hoe: http://www.chillington.co.uk/


I would use a heavy duty tool, which I use on lumpy soil sometimes.
It's got 3 prongs hooked over like claws. you pull it through the
soil. Good for making a tilth and breaking up lumps.
