Conventional wisdom holds that you should start dumping old appliances, farm implements, and automobiles into it. That's what the greatest generation did.
You might consult @SalAunese , I believe he lives near the sinkhole capital of Minnesota.

Width x depth x height in feet, divide by 27 = number of yards of concrete needed. Don't take any chances...
Plant trees all around it. Pretty easy to identify a sinkhole our in farm fields that way.
Sounds like a start of an inground swimming pool to me.
I'm gonna fill OP's mom's sinkhole.
Required i think for mortages in fla on residential. At least thats what i was told.
I was taking a dump in a new state and was late getting in or it would have been sooner.
Yeah the more I think about it I think it's required for home insurers to offer it and I think some lenders require it. I ended up buying a condo so no need.
I'm pretty sure it's mandatory and also FL Ins. Cos. have to provide coverage.
My Dad's house in Ocala was built on a sinkhole. It took 37 cement trucks full of dry slag to fill it. Not sure who mentioned cement, they don't use wet crete to fill them.
37 cement trucks. Think about that.
It might be based on exactly where you live, although, not sure why my neighborhood would get a break. Sinkholes happen all the time in my county, although they're usually a few miles west of me out by the springs.
I'm pretty sure there is state law that says Ins Cos have to cover sinkholes/damage through homeowner policies. Maybe insurance specifically for sinkholes is optional.
That's actually true. The less you tell a realtor , the better.
Just answer...Don't know or not to my knowledge and hope your neighbors never rat you out.
This is where people get caught all the time... I was on the buyer end of this one time. The seller ended up paying for a basement water mitigation system 6 months after closing.
Edit: At risk of making everything political, of course the liar was an right wing, self-proclaimed christian republican.

Depends on the size of the truck. Last I knew the majority of the mixers hold 10 yards.
A gate to Hell has opened in your yard. Who ya' gonna call?
...or @THE_DEVIL ...whoever's available.
Usually 9 -10 yards in Iowa.Used to be about 7 max but cheater wheels allow them to meet bridge law requirements. They don't get off a hard surface much anymore thus the need for pumps and cranes. A yard of concrete weighs over 4,000 pounds.
Why would you call anybody?,... Get a load of dirt, a shovel, a wheelbarrow and a rake and get to work....
If it's on your propery and if it's domestic water, they'll shut off the water and tell you to call a plumber. If it's sewer, they'll probably still shut off your water and tell you to call a plumber.
So, 370 yards of slag, or about 10,000 cubic feet. Basically a box that’s 20’x20’x25’.
Yeah, that’s a pretty big hole.
I posted this the other day but it actually works ITTA gate to Hell has opened in your yard. Who ya' gonna call?
...or @THE_DEVIL ...whoever's available.
