Does Digging a Hole in Rainy Climates Cause It to Expand?

A question about whether a hole in regularly rainy soil collects water and expands in winter. The expert declines to answer directly, noting it's a fundamental question best solved by observing natural processes. Variables (hole size, wind, rain) affect speed, but outcome is always the same: erosion and collapse over time.

Think it through: water enters, freezes, thaws, soil slumps. Nature's cycle.
