Saw multiple 7+ acre ponds on the adjacent land so when it's time to build big I should be ok. I've got the highest ground around



Hey Jnarronecu,

Not sure why you think your high ground is a good thing when digging a pond. Won't the neighbors be getting the water shed? Won't your water table be lower than theirs from grade? Do those other ponds have wells? Or are you thinking since the sand pit has water now, even though you are the highest land, you will be good to go? I am a newbie too so I am not saying you are wrong, just wanting to learn.
