Has anyone tried this? I have a 4000 sq ft pond that doesn't hold water at all. We had 3 inches of rain and all I got was mud in the bottom. I was told by a friend that I could dig the pond out, and lay some 6 mil plastic in the bottom and then bury it with about 8-10 inches of dirt. I would like to put some fish in it, but not until I know it's going to hold water. I need the pond for watering my animals: Sheep, Goats, and Deer.
Will putting the plastic down last very long. Or will I be redoing this again next year. The reason I ask about plastic is because Bentonite Clay will be very expensive to have trucked in to my ranches location. Thats if they could even get to the pond site.
Thanks in Advance. Muddy in South Texas
