Liquidsquid, my pond build was similar to yours. I have rocky clay, and my builder only used a high lift to compact. I think he did ok on the dam. I see no signs of water getting past it. The bowl is another story, I think it got very little compaction. While I still have hope that mine will keep getting better, and it still shows signs of getting better, the higher the water level gets, the slower it seems to be about getting better. I think some Soilfloc would help my pond, and might give it a try someday. If it was cheaper, and easier to apply, I probably would have already tried it. Just trying to plan help and no wind is tough enough. Lol!
