Hello from another NC guy.
I'm not able to help with layout or design. I can attest that our clay soil wants lime and lots of it.
I'm constantly fighting to keep PH/KH in acceptable levels.


Half acre 30 year old farm pond, Mebane NC. Aeration & feeder.
LMB, CC, SC, BG, HBC, two no account welfare carp and nine seasonal Tilapia that all the other fish are terrified of.
