    What for? I assume you mean below grade. The concrete is supposed to be 
poured into 'undisturbed' earth. 

    An exception would be when the walls keep sloughing; then the forms would 
be necessary but you have to be real careful to backfill after you remove the 
forms and tamp the backfilled dirt.
