After conducting a good bit of research into old threads, I have a beginners question:
If you're attempting to rebuild a 5-6ac lake bed that has grown up in the last 40 years, is completely clearing the site to solid clay the only avenue? If I have the acreage logged, and leave a majority of the stumps underwater, does that induce problems?
I'm not sure if leaking would ever be a problem, as this old lake bed has 2 creeks that feed it year round.
The current trees average 8 inches and are mostly yellow poplar, sweet gums, and 2in maples- nothing with tanic acid.
