We all have different goals and situations with our ponds. Mine went from dry to full pool (the fullest I have ever seen it) in a couple days with our drought busting rains in May. With our on again off again drought here, I really think I will only have a couple years before my pond is dry, or low enough to cause problems. It has been dropping MUCH faster than I expected. I think it is down 4-5 ft since May. I just want myself and mine and other peoples' kids to be able to have some fun out there fishing...and to get rid of the mosquitoes. So I am looking more for fast growth than longevity.
