Ha! That's work like finding a needle in a haystack!
So, I went in with a steel rake, and pitchfork, and scraped out as much as possible. Still, after raking the entire garden area twice (20x20') there were tons of roots still poking up out of the ground, but at least the major needles, leaves, roots, rocks, and grass roots were for the most part gone. I decided that I would just worry about the row where I was planting, and leave the space between the rows work to be done later.
