Full circle, you are getting ready to build your pond & I wish I could start over again. I should have had mine in writing. It was built wrong. It was to be dozed out, the top soil put aside and the dirt blended into the field to create a natural runoff for water. We went on vacation and when we came back it was bermed so we couldn’t get the natural flowing water shed from the 12 acre field. So that is the reason I am having to replant some of the of the Corkscrew Ell grass. The pond usually drops about three feet doing the summer. I ditched the field and run the water in back of my pond then pumped it into my pond but that got to be a hassle so I stopped. So from my experience for pond builders dot the I’s a cross the T’s.

Full Circle, just one last thought, it's hard for me to wrap my mind around the “quantum cat in a box theory.”
