Additional information.......
the area where I dug the holes, I also planed some fruit trees. At 3 inches of rain the whole area has water standing. Two of the trees will need to be moved. The ground water in that area is very high and flowing into the pond.
Also in another area on the north side of the pond. 15 ft away from the pond and higher than the pond water level, water is running out of the ground.
