The size of the pond will obviously have to do with available resources, but its not going to be small. My guess is less than ten acres, but absolutely more than five acres.
It will come down to how much dirt we want to move and how much we want to disrupt the landscape. There is a virtually unlimited amount of water.
My brother also wants to consider the shape of the pond and possible building sites in case he ever needs to cash in on it. I think that is a smart idea, but it will probably affect the size of the pond somewhat.
My best guess is that we're going to end up with about 8 acres.
Does anyone know on average, how much it costs to pellet feed an 8 acre pond over the course of a year? If its something that isn't going to be like a car payment it would be considered. As I read more it seems like that is the fastest way to improve your pond.
