Saturday I packed a few muskrat tunnels full of bentonite and the last bit of soil floc that I had on hand. I'm going to need more of each. Along with wiping out virtually all of the rooted vegetation in the pond, those dang varmints really made a mess of the dam.
After I've finished packing all of the tunnels I'll rip-rap the dam and then bring in some more topsoil to smooth it back out, and re-seed it with grass and dutch clover.
It's been my intention all along to do the rip-rap. If I'd done it sooner I think it might have kept the rats from turning the dam into swiss cheese.
