I'm not sure why.

In my experience it seems there are 2 elements that lead to dimples:
1.) There is simply not enough land available to distribute the available land in such a way that everything will level out nicely. In the instances of a divot it is necessary to raise the earth where the dimple lies then level.

2.) There is too much land in one spot for the hoe to be able to level that specific area, thus a pimple or high spot will occur. In this case the pickaxe must be used to remove some material.

There are times in both the above scenarios where simply beginning the levelling process from a different direction will fix the issue.
