I used the dirt to fill the ruts left by the cement truck! I would never
give the dirt away.

When I began my tower excavation work, I started by hand. One of the
first problems I ran into was where to put all the spoils (dug up dirt) that
my work was producing. Eventually I hired someone to come in with a backhoe
and stake-body truck to finish the hole and haul away the dirt.
A rule of thumb is the spoils occupy twice the volume of the
excavation. That is, if you dig a hole five yards in volume, you'll need to
dispose of something like ten yards of dirt. The spoils tend to be less
compact than undisturbed earth; you're not actually creating matter here,
you're just not compacting the removed material.
Something to consider if you go it alone.
