Mini digger with a 6" bucket will do it in no time but will cost a bit more than a mattock.
Fire!!!
No really. do it if you can
Hi I can't set it on fire as its next to a fence and its too small an area to justify having a digger in
sounds like your couple of lads have begun to cost more than a minidigger hire already
try a electric braker with a clay spade on the end if its only 4x3 ft
Mini digger without a doubt... which bamboo is it?? I took out 20 linear metres of golden bamboo last year, around 25 years in the ground. 3.5 ton did it , anything less would have take alot longer..
You can do it with mattocks, as long as you dig a trench one side and undermine it. Youy can then chop bits off once they're unsupported. Make sure the mattocks are sharp!
As the others have said, a lot quicker with a mini-digger.
Get bigger lads..and feed them porridge.
Can I suggest they use mattocks to nibble small bits off instead of tyrying to hack chunks. I cleared a crazy dense section of similar size in a few hrs myself in the garden when we moved in.
Never easy
Cut down low and use a electric repricating saw with a wood blade to cut straight through in sections. Use a metal spike or digging bar to prize out of the ground. Quickest way to achieve the result you require.
