4 years ago me and a friend of mine dug a pond on my property. He works for an excavator with no pond experience. I rented an excavator and he ran it. It is 75' wide and 125' long and about 10' deep. It never has held water. I even filled it with a tanker truck and it leaked down in about a months time. It is mostly clay but I know in the deepest part we hit sand, thats were I think it is leaking. I didnt know about this site at the time, after reading and buying the book I want to "fix" my pond. First problem we have a 2-1 slope were the pond has a severe drop as you walk into the pond with the exception of one area were I was going to have a beach. I also never packed the soil after we were done. I am looking for advise on what to do next. I am like unclear on what a "keyway" at the bottom of the pond is. I know we did't put on in, should have? see photos
