Are you thinking about using the sandbags to build a berm type raceway, rather than dig it in the ground?


I am thinking more in terms of stabilizing the edges so that the liner has a nice level area to sit the capstones.


That would be cool.

I was looking for an easy and inexpensive way to stabilize the edges of the 30' x 80' (lined) pond that will go by my garden (should I live long enough), and Mike Otto posted a reply to a thread that was totally unrelated.

He said to use bags of cement! Totally Genius!!!

They are already to dimension, filled, bags are biodegradable so the earth worms get a bit of lunch, set up solid after a while so it's more stable than sand, and is cheap if you buy in bulk. Plus, the cement place here will deliver for free and stage them about where they need to go so you don't have manually move them very far.


Along those lines JKB, I think Kelly Duffie posted some pics, maybe a year ago, of someone who used them along a channel. Can't remember what the original post was about to even look for it.
