This is the bed I came up with.
They would be arranged like this. 6' in between to get my LT1050 in with cart's and stuff. Maybe I should make it 8' in between so I could get my truck or kubota in there?
I would get a smaller tiller to work these tho.
I did some measuring and would probably be safe with putting 4 of these in this year without any trees coming down and busting them up.. I have to rip out 5 test beds and fill in my test hole for the pond. This is where I originally wanted the (GW) pond, but I have no drainage issues here anymore.
I was really happy when I hit water the first time with the test hole. It held for quite some time at about 18" below the surface. Luna use to swim in it. It all went away tho. This hole only went 6' deep, and not a drop in subsequent years. I went to a lower elevation on the property and went 8', and it was bone dry. I have my theories as to what happened with the GW, and it all coincides with an excavator terracing off a lower elevation hill and they broke thru an underground dam that was retaining our GW. My Dad has 3 sump pumps in his basement to keep it dry, and not one has kicked in since this happened.
