Lots of neat equipment shown there in the videos. It seems like I am always drawn in by the posts that involve pond renovation and the various ways that it is achieved.
My gut instinct on this method is that it must be ALOT of hard physical work. And its going to be super dirty work. If I was seriously considering this method, I would want to talk with others that own these. I would also take it one step further and volunteer time in helping them run one. You would get first hand experience on its pros and cons, and find out whether you would like to proceed with the idea or not.
Are the gold dredge machines more/less expensive than the muck thru systems?
Are you looking to just clean up the pond occasionaly, or does the pond really need a good dredging?
For the money involved, might it be better to just hire the dredging out to a company that deals with it everyday?
Are you not allowed to use a conventional dragline in the pond?
Best wishes, and I will be following this post as it develops. Keep us informed. Thank you....
