You know you can just channel from the surface and it has the same effect right?  Minus the collapse?

Except that if you collapse a layer of dirt you don't need to muddy the floor though, collapsing layers is enjoyable in it's own right anyway.

Good point.  You don't have to muddy the floor if you channel down to another soil layer though.  This is how i make my farms- empty a murky pool into my farming area, then channel the floor out of the pool and roof it over.  This way i get an indoor farm 9where the pool drained) and an outdoor farm (where the pool was).
