That’s what I was wondering, wasn’t sure if that dirt could be used to build things up or not. I have heavy clay soils and there is enough dirt I could take off the edges to widen the dam. Is the best option for the muck to just pile it up out of the pond and let it dry? Or as CB100 suggested I have enough room behind the dam for most of it where I could put it and not have to worry about moving it later?
