This has been discussed before. It makes more sense and takes less time to dig 2 shallow graves because you hit caliche at 12"- to 20" deep in the desert. Caliche is almost like digging on a huge slab of rock. That's common knowledge to any desert rat.
Unless you have a backhoe and go down a good 6 feet down, you're going to have methane and liquid decay pushing up through the top. Caliche has almost a zero perc, decay won't go downward, it will move horizontally and the methane will push it up.
So the comment was made after a research on the efficiency of grave digging and the optimal number and depths of the graves? What about, say, 3 shallower graves?
Again, what book are you talking about?
