Garden full of rubble

We bought a house last year. I thought the end of the garden was just horribly overgrown & set to work clearing it.... turns out that underneath the brambles is a mound of soil mixed with rumble, including what look like some seriously big bits of concrete. Possibly a concrete post of some sort.

What tools do I need to break up concrete? Or is this the sort of job where I should just pay someone out of the rapidly diminishing budget?

Concrete breakers can be hired locally but it's pretty hard work. Concrete posts are generally reinforced with steel rods and difficult to break up. You need a skip, break up the rubble/concrete with a club hammer and get rid. Wear gloves and safety glasses when breaking stuff up.
