There's lots of bare ground (the big rocks were free, just gas and labor) for which, (second attempt from a year ago) during Sep and Oct rains I planted $400 worth of prairie grass and wildflower seed, along with borders of deer food plot seed, and a covering of rye. This time I got pretty much 100% germination! This time, the deer can't possibly eat all the new shoots. Bluebonnets sprouting everywhere! A patch of bare ground halfway up the river is to provide a large bog filter. Two smaller bog filters just need plants. I plan to grab plants from local golf courses...watch out for the guy playing golf and also carrying a trash bag.

In my initial posts under "new member," and titled "A Balcones Escarpment Pond" (I think), I posted early pictures and a link to a YouTube video from last June showing the best of fish living.
