Thank you for the replies they are most helpful.

Vamas- I do plan on digging holes in the spring to find out what is there. I can't currently as it is quite cold (I think it was 10 degrees yesterday for high) so, I have to wait :-(. There are 4 ponds in my neighborhood and 3 just out side which makes 7 within 2 miles,3 of which are within a 1/2 mile. I have considered those which gives me hope as they appear to be on the same soil as I have. But as you said I'm not sure if they had clay trucked in or not. I'll have to see If I can find out. Some are all small farm ponds, one I think is recreational and the other looks for be for fires.

Stbar- thank you for that information. I have been using that site. It is where I got my soil information from. I was unaware of the water feature which will be immensely helpful. I will have to use that tonight when I get home from work. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it yields good results. Then NRCS should be out this spring after I dig my test holes to help advise on the project.

I subscribe!
