Theres a hole in my bucket

Probably the most frustrating aspect of building any deck has to be the need to dig lots of holes only to fill them in again. Generally, the days of muscle and shovels are long gone, well mostly, and we are seeing developments in ground screw technologies and above ground footings all of which have their place in the market.?
Through 2021 the total estimated weight of soil removed for deck posts was 1.0 million tons or 110.4 million cubic feet. To help you picture what it means it’s similar to filling the shell of the Empire state buildings 3 times over with soil. If we assume that concrete was used to fill them again then we would be able to construct another 4 Empire state buildings. If the excavated soil was moved by articulated truck, it would take around 41,400 truck loads.?
Now if the new concrete foam filler was used it would have require around 6.9 million packets….oooh! now that would be a nice order for someone.
