Smart move, TJ. One thing I learned is that soil appearances can be deceptive -- that red "clay" hill was anything but -- and that without the right soil the pond just won't work.

Mike Smelley told me several sad stories about people who went ahead and built a pond despite being warned they didn't have enough clay. He has refused good paying work because he didn't want to build something he knew would be problematic.
