It should only take 8 saplings or leaves to make dirt water and that'll get you more water. Using the transposer with saplings or crucible with leaves is easier to automate. The crucible is slower the boiling dirty water too.
Easiest automatic dirt is with a ring of conveyors around your base to an automatic kill point with a vacuum hopper to sort the flesh to barrels.
There's also a secret way (with an AA) to turn a stack of bones into about 8-12 dirt.
