Make sure whoever supervises you digging the pond is also a member of Mattock Club. I think there ought to be a uniform, and it definitely needs to include steel toed boots. We all need toes.
It beat the mattock (handle snapped whilst levering) and the pick (handle snapped whilst levering) and got me through three blades on the oscillating saw that I used on roots too deep for the mattock. Three afternoons later, the stump was out. It now sits in the garden as a trophy.
...and I was only doing it as a favour for my neighbour.

See how many members of Mattock Club there are @JamesSB ?
A friend recently broke my good garden fork trying to get out privet hedge roots. Don't try to lever anything out with a fork or get impatient - it's the death of good tools. Amen.
