What's next with our "97% OK" pond.
After conferring with TJ, we'll be waiting and seeing what happens once we get some rain, and are painting up some metal fence posts to put in the basin to use for depth gauges. He also had some good advice on what to put in it to help control mosquitoes.
Only a living room sized puddle in the bottom for now. The new total depth is about 10 to 12 feet with the sandy area about half way up on one side wall. It's got at least one granite boulder courtesy of the glaciers, I dug at it a little but gave up with a basketball sized piece exposed. Am using my tractor to try to put a foot or so of good dirt/clay over the small sandy area that is still exposed.
Long term, will monitor how well it is holding water (if/when we get enough rain to put something in it) then decide if will try SoilFloc by itself or may need to put clay over the sandy area to slow down any leaks, then followup with SoilFloc if a little extra something is still needed.
