4 or 5 years ago I pumped out my 2 farm ponds and hired a local, reputable contractor to redo them. All turned out well, or so I thought. I know my soil is good for sealing. (did the bucket test) Problem is he only "tracked them in" instead of packing them with a sheepsfoot roller. So my ponds leak, rapidly at more than an inch a day. Business has picked up so I am redoing the ponds again, this time myself. The ponds are way down so I have moved mud as needed to cover a few exposed rocks (a good foot + on top) and am almost ready to rent a compactor. Am I missing anything? Here are a link to some pics taken 1 month apart of the 2 ponds.
