    Like the little mach. I have been doing this kinda work since 1967. You never Never start to fill in a pipe from the sides. You Always -----you hold the pipe down while filling from top. Always Try it!!!! Filling from sides leaves voids that can leak later. Rain down from top fills as you go... But you gotta hold it down. Your pipe picked up an inch or so. That leaves a part of Non-Compacted fill

    Last Fall I manually dug a 13' hole to accept a 12' deep, 2' diameter culvert pipe as a huge external sump pump well casing. It took two months of nearly daily sweaty labor. Not only did I have to dig enough for the actual hole, I needed to terrace for manual dirt hauling out, access, and room to swing a mattock and spade shovel.
    The effort would have only taken a couple of days with a backhoe. But then, neighbors and friends wouldn't have been so impressed either... ;-)
