i could definitely make 2 smaller ponds.

There is a lot of grass in the ditch but I was also thinking of maybe putting a load of gravel in the ditch to slow and add some filtering.. not sure if that would be worth while or not...


One concern would be the amount of disturbed soil / clay required to dig the sediment ponds... I would think the new ponds would essentially be a source of sediment to my main pond.. at least until they settled down and washed clean.
