making pond deeper anything that I should know - 08/06/13 02:13 AM
As alot of you know my pond is only 4 feet deep and leaks really badly since I dug the pond by hand and can not afford a liner.
This is the first summer I have had my pond and it dropped about 1.5 ft making it harder to keep cool. So I took the top of the dam off until I got to the point where it was leaking Now I intend on making the pond 6 feet deep and taking the dirt that I dig out of the middle and throwing it in the shallow spots in the pond witch are currently 6 inches to 1 foot deep. that should give me less surface area keeping the pond cooler.
I'm worried that when I dig the pond deeper I create another leak at the bottom witch would completely screw me. Is their any chance that happens? Also I was not a Pond Boss member when I dug the pond So any advice I get on digging and designing the newly renovated pond is appreciated.
Thankyou!!!
