It's still being dug so I don't have any water currently. Would it work the same way to get my soil tested ? I'm pretty fimiliar with my soils around the area of the pond being that I'm a farmer and the pond is on my farm I have all my soils tested every year for my crops but I'm sure the top few inches of the soil profile differs from 6ft deep. As far as liming I have a spreader truck for the farm and my local aggregate service is 5 miles down the road. I may just load the spreader truck with lime and drive it into the pond.
