I've been holding off on posting for a couple of days, giving this some thought. However, to put it simply, I can't see where digging a hole and then hitting water is a bad thing, especially when it comes to building a pond.

Could someone explain what the problem is with this scenario?? I can certainly agree that the initial post stating they hit gravel would be cause for concern. However, the susequent post where it shows water in the hole seemed to really turn up the heat against digging any further.

I can't recall any posts over the years where our advice to someone, who hit water while digging a pond, was to quickly cover it up and pray??

What am I missing?? I just sent in my subscription renewal because it looks like I get an "F" in pond building basics. \:\(
