From someone who has learned the hard way, my tip would be to use a crow bar and break it up using natural forces rather than a sledgehammer. Otherwise you might end up with fragments of concrete all through your garden beds and cement dust which isn't ideal for plants.

By natural forces I mean levering something under one part and applying weight to the unsupported end until it cracks.
