its about 1/2 acre pond, just an old cattle pond. when we moved in back 2004 It held water all the way to the top, center is about 4ft, the tall grass in the back ground was where the old barn sat, its torn down now and I still got some clean up to do there so I can keep it mowed. so i had only bull frogs a craw dads, in the ol'hole, it was over grown with cat tails so I put in a dozen of grass carp my first year here, expected that they would die off during the heat of the summer and was convinced due to no action from them, second year here my daughter found some baby(carp) about mid May, but no sooner than that we've had less and less rain since, so this is the outcome.
ST most the rain was always to the west of me, for some reason it always seems the storms split up right at the entrance of warrick county? It just seems, I can go to work the next day and always hear about how it peed and poored in evansville(about 40mls away) but nothing at my house, my garden was puke all summer long.
I've been questioning on the art of making it bigger like 2 or 3 acres big, alot to that tho. I know where i can get some asisstance on proper location for collecting rain water, but still need to figure out who wants free dirt so it can get dug :lol:
Oh yea my dogs loved it
