But wait! Before you dig, isn't it important to know where you're going to dig? Would it make sense to put all of your trenches at one end of field, or should you strategically plan them first, so they'll bring most benefit to your crop with least effort on your part?
By way, shouldn't you also decide which river you're going to dig towards? You're not going to just start digging somewhere and see what happens, are you? No, you'll plan where your trenches go, and you'll also dig towards river that makes most sense for your field and crop. It should have a good water flow, with little potential of running dry, and should be fairly easy to find and reach. You don't want to dig towards a river that's miles away, that you've only heard about but never have seen do you?
Now, key to everything. Are you going to dig a foot or two in one trench, then move on to another, then another, digging a little each time then starting over? Or would it be better to finish first trench that will bring most potential water? You could start a small part of your overall crop that is fed by water in first trench. While it's growing, you can move on to second trench, and so on. That seems like a better plan.
Finally, don't forget that you may run into rocks, clay, snakes, and other dangers in some places you dig. Just know that will happen sometimes, and find a new place to dig.
