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.

    My housing development is built on fill dirt; I was trying to plant a rose bush and getting nowhere with just a shovel. What I really needed was a pickaxe like we used in college when we were excavating a rock shelter for Archaeology 401. Bought one at the hardware store and went to town. 🥀
