I just found this site and its full of great info. I am a newbie to the pond world. I have a low wetland type site on the back of my property about a 1/3 acre. it's full of cattails and has no standing water. it's been very dry in michigan. i dug down about 6 feet and the soil is very rich and full of peat. The water rose to 2 feet from the top. my goal is a natural setting for wild life and lmb and bg. i would like to go 15 feet. Any opinions and suggestions would be appreciated. sorry bout the long post
