When we dig a hole, then fill it back in, there's always more dirt mounding over it.... you have to account for the space the body takes up.

:laughing:

I could google it but that's not as much fun.

My question is what's the science behind digging a hole? It seems when a hole is dug and filled back in there is never enough dirt to level the hole, why is that?
Somewhere on the other side of the globe somebody is wondering where all those hills are coming from?

There's no science to it at all. It's simply that Boss don't like Luke's dirt in his ditch.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Really funny and is the only thing that makes sense in my experience. But I do like the waxing and waning moon stuff also :)

That works great until the body rots down, and then you have a depression marking where you put the Revenuer.

Compaction, swell, moisture, and void space are the answers ya'll are looking for.

I've always wanted to buy an old quarry pit, cut it into post hole size pieces, box them, and sell as post holes. I never could figure out what to do with all the leftover odd-sized pieces. No one wants nail holes or gopher holes.

Bottle them as "instant hole" under the Acme label and sell them to the coyote.

To add to this quandary--I dig a hole for a tree that is in a 5 gallon pot. Put the tree in the hole and STILL do not have enough dirt to fill the hole back up level
