No, you didn't post in the wrong area. There are just so darn many unknowns that it's hard to say.
I was just kidding. I can't remember being so anxious about a process. There's a lot more to building a pond (in the woods, on rocky soil, with limited drainage) than I thought.
It was easier, getting married, having kids, building a home, changing jobs.. Ha
It's actually been fun, but a little stressful.
FYI, It is looking much better lately. I was up there again on Tuesday and had them ditch around the alfalfa fields above the pond to help get at least another acre of drainage.
Wish I could flick a switch and find out if it holds water or not.
Thanks
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
