Once you disturb the dirt, it is less dense than it was so it now has a greater volume.

depends if the moon is waxing or waining....

I think waxing moon, the dirt wont fill the hole. a waining moon there is too much dirt for the hole.

If the moon is waxing, you dig a hole and fill it back in, the dirt will be mounded up. the dirt over fills the hole
If the moon is wanning, you dig a hole and fill it back in, the dirt will not completely fill the hole, it will be sunk in a bit.
The closer to a full moon or new moon, the less its noticable.

everyone go dig a big hole in their yard and try it....

Dig a hole in the Dark of the Moon, and you will find you haven't enough dirt to fill the hole up-again. So dig your post holes in this period and the post will settle tight and firm.

maybe when the moon is waxing, you fill in the hole and it mounds up but your buddy who dug it just hadn't got out yet?

So if I kill a zombie midget during a waning moon, will his body fit in the 2x2x2 hole and will I have just enough dirt to fill in the hole, with no mounds?

I'm pretty sure that hole needs a Concrete bedliner though.

Wouldnt want to get dirty when you fall in the hole.
