They scape.

If they go wild, they will have to hae adapted to
boring through concrete, as my soil around the
trough is so hard it throws sparks when you
try to shovel it.

I had to hack out the trough with an ax.

I am, pretty sure they will stay in the trough.
And the lack of water will kill anything that
decides to make a run for it!

how deep is it?

for sure you don't want water pooling there at
any point, you don't care if it gets soggy and then
drains, but you don't want standing water.

what is the trench full of? is it mounded above
grade?
