I found a great tool for manual removal of ginger corms (up here in Volcano, kahili ginger is aggressive and extremely invasive). It looks like a small pick-axe, but instead of a sharp pick, it has a 3-pronged fork opposite the horizontal axe. I guess a pick-axe might also work, but the fork end of this tool doesn't seem to break through the corm as easily. You have a lot of leverage to pry out the corm and roots.
Hotzcatz, is your scythe a two-handed tool, as in what the Grim Reaper carries? If so, did you find it on the BI? If so, where? I picked up a sickle, one of those made-in-Japan jobs that my dad and grandad used when they were gardeners. It's kind of like a one-handed scythe and it has a small blade.
