Welcome to the forum! Looks like you have a nice little pond there now - I made the same mistake early on re: the dirt - if that's the worst one you make regarding your pond you can count yourself lucky.

Stocked any fish in it yet?

Cute lil one there on that last shot - and that trackhoe is MADE for a job like yours. I've never seen one with an arm that long before. That guy could make a killing around here cleaning out farm ponds.
