Big changes in clarity and greenery. Nice!

Here's my before and after renovation. First Google Earth pic March 2014, second March 2016. Since the second pic, the sludge pile has been spread and seeded, and a new 1/4 ac pond dug to the east of the renovated pond, which is outlined in blue in the third pic.

Looking good why did you add another 1/4 pond. I'm looking to go bigger in another year but think I'll drain the pond or most of it and have my dozer guy dig

First pond seeps some, and didn't want to expand it at this time. Also, two ponds give a chance to grow different fish.

It seems they update mine nearly every year. It's probably because our tax assessor is very aggressive and gets new aerials to spot new construction that would otherwise be missed.

That water clarity change should make a real difference in your fish performance Fishintx85. Not to mention it looks so much nicer.

Looks really good John F. Hopefully you can get the leak stopped in your refurbished pond. It cleaned up really nice around it.

Maybe we will make it down that way for a first hand look on a motorcycle trip this summer. We really enjoyed the ride on the Pig Trail.

Is this actually what causes GE to update??

Hopefully you can make that ride down here in the spring, before it gets too hot and humid to be pleasant riding.

Since the pond has filled back up, I have been doing a lot of investigating. There was a big bunch of large trumpet vines right at the base of the dam. I cut all of them down winter before last and kept them mowed closely last year. I think a lot of those trumpet vine roots that I cut go way back under the dam. Since those roots are dying, the ground behind the toe of the dam has become spongy and waterlogged. Hopefully, if it is those roots, they will continue to die off and be replaced by the clay in the soil. It's just seepage, but extensive seepage that amounts to a 5/8 inch loss per day when the water is as high as it is now (10 inches below the overland spillway). Still debating if Soilfloc would be worth trying again.
