to 
have a form in the ground. Can you just use the sides of  the hole as the 
form?  Also in your case did you remove the form  after you had poured the 
concrete and did you have any problems in  removing the form?
 
    Using a form in the ground is usually WRONG. The  concrete is supposed to 
be poured against undisturbed earth. I think Scott had  some sloughing that 
caused him to form the inside of the hole. Great care  needs to be taken to 
refill and repack the soil in this case.
