Hello pond professionals, hope you have some advice for me. I am replacing the overspill drain pipe of a small farm pond. I would like to know any measures or extra precautions I need to take to ensure that it doesn't leak. I will be packing it by hand because I can't get machinary to the location. Any help will be appreciated.

Get an anti seep collar. They are extremely important. I think everybody packs around pipe by hand. Keep stomping and use the shovel handle. This could be the weakest part of the dam.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

get the anti-seep collar and also build one out of cement too. A little extra insurance.
