I am having test holes dug next week to see if it's feasible to build another pond closer to the house than the current pond. This area has good watershed to support the possibility of a pond up to about 1/2 acre. It's in the creek bottom (not in the usual flood plain), so I don't know what to expect, but the creek bottom in that area is eroded down to pure orange clay. Not doing it if it looks like a possible leaker. I cannot find anyone with a sheepsfoot roller around here who contracts to individuals, so it's the dozer to dig and backhoe tires to pack if we decide to do it.
