We executed the plan last Sep, put the clay(s) in both bentonite and regular gray clay. As always there's something that goes sideways but this time they were all kinda small and we made on site corrections, lotsa flow in the 10' deep hole- that got the most bentonite and covered with clay then packed.









I also regraded the new two track from pond to ridge, got it slope into the new drain rather than flow over the steep bank. Installed a halfpipe sluice to a underground drain to cut down erosion from that slope. Spread lime and seeded w crimson clover and rye.





Seep is much improved, 5"-6" below the overflow and pH and alkalinity are doing great with a sample tested mid Apr. Crescent pond is full and holding, stocking plan is on-going.









I'll happily take the fertilizer they provide for the crimson clover. Ponds doing well. 4 of 5 wood duck nests are being used as well. A wildlife nursery with benefits lol.
