I don't really know. I was 9 years old.
I'll admit that I think I've only seen one other in my whole life,
and I'm not sure that one was actually dug. By the time I saw it, it
was at ground level on one side, and may have just been the way the
ground was, without any digging.
I guess my mother wondered if she really had to do what he said, and
I'm so happy it didn't make things worse, that I'm assuming it was
good advice.
