Drainage and size have indeed been cause for some concern, if not a slight headache. (Thinking ahead, I worry that "I drowned a tree" might not be acceptably dull content for this community.)

However, the last hole I dug for another tree not too far away from this present hole turned out fine, so I hope the ground is okay. As suggested elsewhere, I'm also filling the hole with new, extra dirt.

I... yes. Yes, I will use my money to buy new, better dirt to replace the available dirt I painstakingly dug up and carted away to a slightly different place.

I learned from the last hole I dug a few years ago and shovelled the dirt right on a cart. I used it to fill a sloping flower bed.

A robinia that has been sitting in a pot for a while now and is ready, I hope.

 

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.
