Last time you guys got pics you can see where the water level was staying. Soooo, I redug the ditch and lowered the pipe, but that still wasnt enough. So I found another length of pipe, and made a strainer for the end, and staked that down good.
With the drain in this location it wasnt working
The water level could only get this high before running out of the overflow in pond 1
overflow
This was causign some flow issues in ponds 2 and 3
you can see the gunk on the surface due to lack of flow caused by pond 1 overflowing and pond 3 not draining
this doesnt help either
So I extended the drain and staked it down to where I wanted it
And added a strainer with overflow
So once I got the flow going again, I took a few more wildlife pics.
And one to show you all another problem I have to deal with, this used to be a pond, and is now a mudhole...turtlepit...snake oasis...
Going back out to do more work today...Ill take more pics
