New here -and glad I found this place!
I bought house with 1/2 to � acre pond dug into wet land with island. 7ft in deep end about 4 ft elsewhere. It usually was full in spring and dropped a couple ft through the summer. Kept it open in deep end for fish and pet ducks in winter with sump pump attached to a pole. We have had a lot of construction and a drought. Never this bad but this summer it is down to a 100 ft puddle,no fish and maybe 6 inches deep. Cat Tails are disappearing and canary grass taking over. My plan is to rent a skid loader(for a week)and try to get it a couple of feet deep everywhere. Might wind up looking like a river if water never comes back. I have room to move dirt but getting a backhoe to area is not going to work. Hoping that it comes back some over time but worried that it might not. Anyway question is � am I wasting my time, should I consider a sand point to feed it, and any suggestions would be valued.
