When the addition was made the contractor used a trackhoe and dump truck to get soil for the levee, then they would dump it and spread and pack it with a bulldozer. I always wondered if this had the same compaction as hauling and working it in with a dirt pan.
I marked the water level today and will watch it a while to see if its still seeping down.
Even if water can move somewhat under a pond liner, it still seems like it would have a major impact on any movement and make the water find another and longer, more difficult route to seep through. At the very least it seems that a pond liner would slow it down a great deal, if not stop it completely. Plus, it's the cheapest option now, and I've tried most everything else.
Am hoping to hear from some of you who have used a big pond liner to fix a leaky levee.
