Back in the spring I dug 5 test holes with a backhoe and found clay in every spot for a pond location. However in TX you can receive financial assistance from NRCS if you meet criteria and build pond to their specs. So I called them hoping for assistance and waited 5 months for them to come hoping to receive some. They showed up Friday and dug 1 hole and deemed area unfit for pond. Knowing my results I asked her to dig another and she found clay in the 2nd spot but didn’t like the depth. Knowing my results I will probably just pursue pond on my own, however I was just curious what anyone’s else experience has been like with soil department and if mine was normal.
