Tim, when you become an expert, let me know. I've been doing this for about 30 years and am still screwing up and learning every day.

BTW, the brush around the pond can be killed off without much problem. If there are tree on the dam over 4 inches in diameter, it may be safer to leave them. Rotting roots can become a source for a leak.
