I agree, BS on the test hole thing.

Here's why:

You need to find out what is under the surface soil in the area where the pond will be. Think about it for a second. If you dig a hole in the ground to see what's there, aren't you going to dig out most of the dirt surrounding the hole?

If the pond builder doesn't think he can stop a test hole from leaking, how is he going to stop the whole pond from leaking??

Run away, run away fast!!!
