Full circle, you are getting ready to build your pond & I wish I could start over again. I should have had mine in writing. It was built wrong. It was to be dozed out, the top soil put aside and the dirt blended into the field to create a natural runoff for water. We went on vacation and when we came back it was bermed so we couldn�t get the natural flowing water shed from the 12 acre field. So that is the reason I am having to replant some of the of the Corkscrew Ell grass. The pond usually drops about three feet doing the summer. I ditched the field and run the water in back of my pond then pumped it into my pond but that got to be a hassle so I stopped. So from my experience for pond builders dot the I�s a cross the T�s.
Full Circle, just one last thought, it's hard for me to wrap my mind around the �quantum cat in a box theory.�
