from just reading. I bought some land with a 1 acre pond on it last winter. It went dry 2 years ago so we're starting from scratch. I'll get a well dug do that doesn't happen again. Here's a picture.

This thing is in pretty deep bush so electricity may has well be fusion power, unobtainium. Wind & solar is what we'll use to keep it going.

Mouch, you might want to throw in a few pounds of FH minnows while everything is still small.

It's pushing 2 acres now. It has a half section draining into it.
