That's what I thought you might say based on your last post. I was under the mistaken impression that the dam required some solid structure. I like your answer better, it makes more sense. Here are some pictures of the situation I am talking about.


The dirt inbetween the cinderblocks is still damp.

The next picture is a view toward the pond.



I am considering starting over on the dam in a narrower location for an easier job and less vegetation. The following picture shows my planned new location for the dam.



The next two pictures are an indication that the pond really is worth saving.




I am going to clean up the site, core the new area, try some of the soil that holds water, and pack it down in layers. Before I get started, is the 3:1 slope that I need 3 in the vertical and 1 in the horizontal or the other way around?

I'll let you know how it turns out.
