@Jellyfire "No need to threaten him, he says he’s going to do it soon! " I am sure Figitbones was just offering to LEND him one not LAND him one. James seriously why don't you hire one or even better an electric/ pneumatic drill that will make short work of it.
Here's my favourite cold remedy. Slice a whole lemon into the blender. Add a dollop of black treacle, a pinch of cinnamon, and a glass of hot water. Whizz it then strain it into a measure of rum. Doesn't do your cold any good, but it's great compensation for having one.
Sledgehammers aren't shiney new power tools though. I can picture my wife rolling her eyes as I point out that the only thing that can crack a concrete waterbutt easter egg thingy is one of those fancy Makita SDS hammer drills.
Either way James needs to hurry up before hoards of heavily armed forum users descend on his house. Plus if he leaves it any longer it's going to need another coat of paint...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I think a few of us have already offered to come and do it for him, to end the suspense. 6000 views is pretty respectable. Surely that merits a mention in the local paper, at least?

I used to work with someone who had a similar idea but his involved a double whisky AND the Dark rum. As he put it, "does nothing for your cold but you don't care".
James.. how about an open garden day.. and all your new internet friends can come sip tea, drink Pimms, eat strawberries, and take turns hitting your garden surprise. It will be like a mix of a Piñata party and Wimbledon. You could even make some cash.. in the US they do a fundraiser activity where people pay to take a turn with a sledgehammer to bust up a car. You could put your profits towards some new plants.

Here you are James ... that'll put you right
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
