I've had a bunch of new vegetation start around the pond edges this summer with the water being down so low, and I think it will be good cover for raising minnows, so I'm thinking of leaving that areas untouched in my pond excavation effort. Had my tractor down in the pond the other day and under the 1-2' of muck there is a good solid bottom, so I'm hoping the excavator will be able to work well without any big problems... I figure if a wheeled tractor can move around there without getting too stuck, then the tracks should hold up really well... I've got a lot of muck and dirt to move, it's going to be a busy day... Going to try to move the dirt with a big front end loader, and hope I can keep up with the excavator... Moving the fill about a block average, so not very far... Any last things I need to plan for? Thanks J
