Or click on the "Switch to Fully Reply Screen" the click on the third icon from the left that is above the text box and past the image address there (which is what I did for the first photo). And it's as easy as that!

Give it a try, it's fun and profitable, well it's profitable if you have good black mail photos.

Yep and then if you click on the photo and then click on "copy image address" you can insert the image address into a post lika this: Very impressive, JHAP; not at all a "weak stream".

It takes years of practice Theo, and liquids, plenty of liquids.

FarmerRick, Hope this works for you, you've gone to a lot of trouble to stop the leak. If this doesn't work maybe JHAP will send you GSF to plug the leak! Just kidding JHAP.

The pond looks pretty green, Rick. Looks like you're definitely getting a bloom. Now if only we can get that pesky leak eliminated...

Our pond lost 1 inch last week after accounting for rain. I am still cautiously optimistic that the 2 applications of 6 gallons each of db100 have helped. I hope with it being just a week since the the 2nd application, that the db100 is still finding leaks and fixing them. My deputy pond leak monitor and db100 applying helper (wife) says she "feels" its leaking less so there. Time will tell.

thanks for the update FarmerRick.
I may be able to find out for sure if the DB-100 seal will hold. My pond slowly dropped a foot after my application and now the fall rains are starting to fill it back up. If the rain keeps up, I may know real soon if it is going to leak or not. I'm still skeptical as well. Note to self: hiring a deputy pond leak monitor is a good idea.

Cheezy didn't you do 3 containers of 6 gallons each of Db100? and what size pond? what time in between applications? did you supplement them with any matter? I, as well and many here, will be extremely anxious to hear your reports as your pond fills up, and whether it holds. If it does, or is significantly improved, I will add at least one more 6 gallon ap to my pond.

Yes, applied three 6 gallon containers of db-100 in a approx .75 acre pond. I didn't supplement with anything and seeing posts from people who did supplement got me wondering.
(All of the product was applied to the water)
5/23/09 (4 gallons) water mark @ 42.625 5/26/09 (8 gallons) water mark @ 41.5 6/20/09 (6 gallons) water mark @ 35.25
Shortly after the last application there was no longer any water at the toe of the dam. However, I'm thinking the reduction in pressure had something to do with it. Will know for sure when the water mark exceeds 40 inches. Water mark is currently at 29.0625.

It's been 5 weeks since I put DB100 & 50lbs of oats in the pond, the leak on the dam has decreased about 70%. I kept the tarp barrier up along the dam and pumped in the last 1 1/2 gallon of db100 yesterday, with all the leaves falling and the concentrated mixture I'm hoping this will seal the leak. I'll report on the results in a couple weeks.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

WE lost one inch again last week after accounting for rain. It was a very humid rainy week, but we only got a small amount of rain compared to the surrounding areas. This week looks to be dry with low humidity and wind and will give a better indication of the d100 progress. My deputy monitor says the leak is fixed, but I say more time is needed. I wonder how long the db100 has an effect in the water? Thanks to all for their updates. It does appear that there is some success using db100.

Latest: Pond lost 2" last week. No Rain and dew points were in the 40's and 50's with wind during the days. day temps were in mid 70's and mostly sunny. Pond is out is in a 10 acre pasture, so here is my question, How much evap can be expected under these condx? I keep meaning to place a container with water by the pond and measure it as well, but forget.

The bucket test is the best way to check for accurate evaporation.

Put the bucket in the water so it has the same temperature and is exposed to the same air flow as the water surface.

I've never seen a pond evaporate an inch a day. At that rate there wouldn't be many ponds.

Walt that is why so many of the Texas , OK , Cal. etc (arid area) ponds go dry or go way down. Too much evaporation and not enough rain. I am glad that is not a big problem for us. An inch a day or more is common for them.

Good to know, for sure - I stand corrected. I should have said, in non-desert areas. Rick is not far from me and gets about the same amount of rainfall per year as I do, so an inch per day would not be accurate for him.
Glad I don't manage ponds in TX!
