Dave, if I dig it out, how much deeper do you suggest?
Should I focus on a section in the center, say 50' by 150' or so, and dig that out ten feet or so?
This is red clay to the center of the earth as far as I know, so would there be any reason not to go hog wild and make it as deep as I can? I've got a line on a JD 180G that I hope pans out for a few days. I think the layout of the pond is good, just maybe too shallow for its size...for here anyways.
I'm thinking of concentrating on a smaller footprint so that in the event of another drought, the water remaining would have less surface area and not evaporate as fast?
I know that I have a lot of questions, so thanks in advance for your help.
