This is a tiny story that I take personally. A few year’s ago the council near me put lots of trees in a field where I walk the dogs. The thing is. For some odd reason they made the holes less than an inch deep. As such many fell over. In the end I had to get a hand shovel to plant them safe. They also planted them far too close together. Also in unnatural rows. By the sounds of things other councils are just as useless. Yet still people claim it is best to let councils and government spend your tax money better than you. To be clear I would have planted these trees for free and better in my city.
