DNiclolaus - that is a great page of information about soil compaction. Thanks from all of us.
Flame - without good soil compaction expect the pond to leak - it is almost a given and guarantee. Be prepared. Very best compaction is with a vibratory sheepsfoot. You would be wise to have him rent one, at bare minimum a double barrel sheepsfoot.
Ponds are built the fastest with two workers; one digging and spreading, the other compacting.
