Some might remember me posting this https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5100 back when my pond dried up. Well the water is back
and I have discovered there is a run off pipe hooked to the pond so it doesn’t fill up, might explain how easy I lost the water.
I will have a large backhoe this weekend Lord willing, and I’m considering doing a few things to it just to snap it up,
1. I plan to remove the run off pipe
2 The sides I plan on cutting into them, creating a drop off edge, and then raising the west wall up even so it can hold more water, and I can actually cut the grass with out hanging up the mower
3 I have some rocks that I plan on putting in it as well, but was needing some ideas here. What kind of bottom could I create? Some holes here and there or try to create a point or something and combine this with the rocks?
4 I need to come up with a depth for some spots, I can't re-dig the pond out, but can add to it.
So, I do have the opportunity to snap it up a bit for Blue gill and then Bass(and a few cat)
I plan on attacking it the Saturday and Sunday borrowing the rain.
Anyone got some ideas here? Ask away
