I just bought a 2.7 acre farm and wanted to put a 50'x70'x8' deep pond on it with some koi, bass and sunfish.
I am in upstate NY in Orleans County near Lake Ontario. my soil type is: silt loam.
I have an area on the farm that has standing water for several months out of the year in the area I want to put the pond in. I dont know if this is because of natural runoff (it is in a slight low point on the farm or if there is a good spring source beneath. (see pic)
I was wondering if a TERRAMITE T7 Backhoe (see pic) would be adequate to get the job done.
Will I need to have a liner or use anything to keep water in? or if it is a spring, wouild tjhat keep it fed?
