It is about 60 centimeters deep. The spade was less useful than the small pickaxe-thingy, which I used to loosen the ground. I intend to plant a tree in the hole. That is all.

    Spades are not meant for digging, they’re for edging and moving stuff. A shovel has a pointier head, which cuts into compacted soil easier. It’s the kind that actually looks like a spade, but for some reason isn’t. You can stick it in the ground, and push it down with your foot.
