I bought some property this fall and I'm currently in the process of having a 1/2 acre pond dug. Very first pond, very excited but at the same time nervous. It is to be stocked at some point, still deciding on species, it will have a beach/swimming area and a windmill for areation.

It was to be about 15' deep, mostly sandy loam, and gravely loam until we hit some gray clay at 15'. It will be filled with run off from about a 4 acre watershed.

Looking forward to sharing and learning.
