The plan this spring:
Buy some trees to plant around the pond to give some shade.
Finish my fish attracters.
Maybe get some gravel to put around my in-flow pipe from the ditch. Also some in the ditch so when the water comes in its running over rocks instead of just mud. ( I would imagine that would help with my water clarity problem).
It will absolutely help. I'm battling this issue right now. I thought I was being smart by digging two ditches leading the water to my pond. Issue is my region is nothing but clay, so runoff is brown, brown, brown.
