Question

My father said that if you dig a hole during a certain phase of the Moon and then fill it back up, there won’t be enough dirt to fill the hole. At other times, there will be too much dirt. Can you provide more information?

Answer

We’ve heard similar stories, but we were unable to locate specific information in this regard. What we can tell you is that regardless of the Moon phase, the phenomenon is “hole-y” untrue. You’ll have the same amount of dirt no matter what phase the Moon is in.
