Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam New Pond Construction In Jefferson Co, Mo.

Thanks Jeff and John!I haven't given up all hope yet and will always have some.lol!I don't really have hope that the bentonite will help, but after seeing how much water my soil will hold, I have a fair amount of hope that the dam will hold and I just haven't got enough water yet to saturate everything in front of the dam.I have seen no signs of water getting past the dam yet.Until I do,I feel like I should have a fair chance that it will hold.
I need to get enough rain to see if it's going to hold, or enough to figure out where it's leaking if it's not going to hold.It looks like we may have a good chance for some rain coming up in a few days, so maybe by this time next week I'll know more.
Jeff, I think I've said this before but I'll be more than happy if my pond turns out as good as yours!If it will hold well enough to keep fish alive, it's better than no pond!
