Puddle getting a facelift? How big you going with it?
Pat,
Final size will be dependent on how many places I can find to put the dirt removed.

My biggest issue has been animals eating or pulling up plants. Geese and deer are the worst. I now put honeylocust branches around and over the plants, which works good for me. You just need to take care handling them. By the time they rot away, the plants are established enough to take the damage.
Rah,
Thanks for the tip. I will try to get out today and see what I can do.
