Get a pickaxe. Not necessarily a full size one, I have a small hand-held one, with the handle 40cm or something like that. I have stony sandy soil and I couldn't do any serious gardening without it.
Thanks for that Edhelka.Sadly I am a 66 year lady with arthritis and hip/back problems + this is in top of a 3 foot wall (!) otherwise I would have been there already. I was thinking about paying someone to come in do the heavy graft (if it is even possible on top of a 3foot wall) but thought I would explore the other alternatives first.

I'd give Di some time. Mine used to flower really well once it got going.
