First off, I want to say thanks for all of the great info on the site.
Now, I think I have a problem. I build a house on 4.5 acres last year. while clearing the land, we found what we call a spring head. It is an area in the front of our property that water comes out of the ground. I have now way of cutting the grass down there, so I either have to weed-eat it, fill it in, or make a pond. The problem I have is I dug some holes with a post hole digger and got VERY mixed results. One hole I hit clay about 6" down and never got past it in the 6' I dug. The other hole I hit sand/water at about 24"(This is clost to where the water comes out of the ground). The entire ground in the area is "spongy" and there is a drain pipe that goes under the road. I know I could plug the drain pipe and move some dirt around to create my levee, but I am worried about the sand. I will be contacting the NRCS office, but just wanted to see if anybody had any ideas on here. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow to help with my horrible description.
Pleas ask any questions you have, I am sure I left out some important info.
Thanks,
Ax
