Next designate an [[activity zone]] over the channeled tiles on the upper room, and set it to [[pond|"pit/pond"]]. By default, the zone will be set as a pit. To change it to a pond, press {{k|P}} then {{k|f}}. (note: that's a CAPITAL P and then f, it took me three months of playing to figure that out) | Next designate an [[activity zone]] over the channeled tiles on the upper room, and set it to [[pond|"pit/pond"]].

As each pond tile gets its first filling of water (bringing it to 1/7 depth), dezone that pond tile, leaving behind an exact match of mud on the floor below. This process creates "a dusting of mud" on the floor below, which is all that is needed to plant underground crops. Place your farm plots over just these muddied tiles. | As each pond tile gets its first filling of water (bringing it to 1/7 depth), dezone that pond tile, leaving behind an exact match of mud on the floor below.

Other ways of creating an upper irrigation gallery and a lower resulting farm level are possible, but this is left up to the fortress designers to experiment with. This is simply a guide for players just starting out. | Other ways of creating an upper irrigation gallery and a lower resulting farm level are possible, but this is left up to the fortress designers to experiment with.
