I have a few questions regarding a comment on page 173 of the 3rd
ed. rulebook. At the end of the section on Astral Movement it states
"The Earth is solid on the astral plane, just as it is in
the physical world; astral forms cannot pass through it. Secure facilities
are often built underground to keep out astral intruders."
My questions are-
How deep underground?
How thick a layer of earth is required?
Would a cave, or the like, be acceptable?
If so can you build something like a mud hut, ie shape the earth above
ground level (build a cave)? If so what constructions can still qualify as
Earth; mud-brick, wattle and daub,..... mud facing on some other material.

N.B. I don't expect the last to qualify, but I am curious to know
where people draw the line, since the 'overgrown ivy on the wall', no longer
works as a cheap astral defence, I was looking at other options.
