Maybe a way to use buckets to muddy squares?
I know it would be simpler to just dig into a murky pool, but I hate how that makes me shape my fortress (OCD)...
Sometimes I make my farm far from my actual fortress for that reason... So maybe let my dwarves carry water from said murky pool to the farm plots?

You can get dwarves to muddy your future farm plots. Create a pit, zone it (i), and set it to pit/pond. Dwarves will then take water from water source and dump it into the "pond" using buckets.

Once all the squares are wet, you get "a dusting of mud". If you want to increase the tiles to "a small pile of mud", let them dry out, then cover them in water again. Let dry and repeat to move them "a pile of mud".

I tried that, but a cancelation message came up... something about an inappropriate building or place to set a pit/pond?

This idea was posted a few days ago and the thread is still near the top of the page.

Also, dwarves fill pond zones from the level above.
