I have bought a big crowbar for breaking up the clay, which does work, but it's hard work. To test it out, I dug a smallish hole and then out of interest filled it with water. It took about three weeks to dry out! But I will use your idea, but be careful about the amount of water I use!

Thanks for the offer. I'll drop you a line if I have any questions. I've found the welding thing quite fun and are now looking for other things I could make that are useful around the house. I'm actually making a little footstool for my son to reach the sink, out of 25mm x 25mm square tubing. It's tricky to work with, since it's easy to blow through the thin metal with an arc welder, but I'm getting there. I'd actually like to have a go at TIG, since my box can do lift-TIG, but argon is not cheap to access just for a play.
