I tested some top soil and some clay in different glass jars. After 12 hours it was clear, and after 24 hours it was almost 100% settled.
Also, they started work on the pond yesterday!
Asked the bossman if he had any concrete laying around with no re-bar in it. He delivered a load today. They are big pieces, so I'll probably create 1-2 piles in a 12 ft of water. I'm assuming i can get more if I ask...
