I'd mix it with some topsoil, Don. And not worry about overfilling the
whole, by 6 inches or even more. I think you'll find that the composted
leaves will deteriorate further and even vanish, maybe as soon as a year,
because they're so highly organic. I would think you'd want something more
permanent next to the foundation.
