Columbus, TX is about an hour west of Houston. And it's been dry as a bone for about 3 weeks.
Thanks for the thoughts. We're concentrating on the deeper areas of the pond first. I expect to put in some condo-minnow-ums in the more shallow areas. I have a little time to work on that.
If I use cinder blocks for anchoring, I wonder how many are needed to keep the tires in place. In several brush piles, I have an old concrete culvert (say, 3-4 feet). Will that be sufficient?
