Fur, it ain't just post holes. It's any excavation. Been there and didn't have enough dirt to fill the hole back up. And later on had way too much dirt left over.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

That's the ticket Fur...you need to start a new Aldeer Almanack. Get Skinny to put another row on the board and you can post up that wealth of knowledge. It would probably put "Poor Richard's" to shame.

i don't know about fur's claim, but i can tell you this about post holes dug with diggers and not an augur: the hardness of ground is directly proportional to the depth of hole needed. example: my dad insisted on railroad ties for corner posts, sunk to the bottom edge of my hands, gripped at the top of the diggers. that danged red clay got harder and harder the farther i dug. i can prove this: i had a 17-inch neck when i was 13 years old, and i was skinny ...

You know dang good and well you can't come on a redneck forum and post redneck fact without having redneck proof to back it up. (Even if said redneck proof is total made up horses&#%) you still got to tell it like you KNOW what causes it. Come on Fur! The M O O N causes it. Dad gum I already said that, I just don't know how it works. My wife causes me to do things from time to time and I don't know how she works either. Same principle. Wives have phases too, just sayin'. Yeah, I think mine's 3 phase. You know, you can reverse her rotation by swapping any two of her three leads. Oh yeah, I can reverse her rotation in a heartbeat

Fur is dead on on the hole plus or minus dirt. When I dig irrigation up and fix it sometimes I have to bring in sand to top it off and sometimes I take dirt and sod with me. Not sure what causes it but I've been told the moon does.

Here's what the Farmer's almanac says about it: Moon Phases PS: If Pliney the Elder says something about it... It's got serious written all over it... There is a damn good beer named after him.

Whatever phase the moon was yesterday is the phase when you have more dirt than you started with.
I had to dig a hole and replace a water pressure regulator at one of my rental houses yesterday. I had more dirt when I finished than I did when I started.
I have experienced the opposite of this phenomenon as well.

We rented a house one time with a big garden spot and moved in around the 4th of July. The landlords elderly mother lived next door and was plumb tickled when we planted some fall taters and squash right off. Them taters come up and took off growin real good. The older lady helped me to keep them clean and dirt pulled up around them. In the fall she showed up at my door one morning and said "according to the almanac the moon is right to dig them taters". She said that you should never dig them with the moon in the stomach or they would rot. The moon needs to be in the head (I believe that's right). We dug them that day and put them under the house. We had good big taters all winter.

My best friend and partner here at work has a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering... He actually kind of got pissed at me when I brought this subject up. He started showing me all kinds of calculations, sketches and diagrams... ... I told him, "Dude I know the math and why it shouldn't be that way, but there ain't a calculation short of astrophysics that will come close to explaining it." There's a difference in knowing stuff through real life experience and reading stuff in books. We travel all the time together and of course discuss some pretty goofy chit. For the record he believes in "remote veiwing" and has actually conducted experiments with another buddy of ours at work. They were surprisingly successful.
