Man...a BUNCH of rain today. The pond went from nothing but a few puddles to about 3ft deep!!!
And...it's STILL raining! I may be about 1/3-1/2 full by tomorrow.
So, what everyone is saying is: The pond will fill a bit and then go down some taking anywhere from 6 months to a year to fully fill and keep water?
I'll mark the edge tomorrow and see how fast it falls. What would be an acceptable rate? Remember, this is a new pond and it's never had nearly this much water before. I've had a foot before that slowly disappeared.
Boy, I hope I don't have a leaker...
