Default New to ponds, have a materials question...

Hi,

Ive been reading around on the internet, and finding that this seems
to be the place to post a question :-)

We've got about 10 acres of land where we live, and we'd like to
consider making a pond. Size is of course determined on expense, and
the other typical factors involved.

My initial question I would ask, is, we happen to have ground on what
you might call a limestone base. We've dug down say 15 feet already,
just to see what would happen, and after a rain of a couple inches,
the water is gone in no time.

Is there some material a person can use to stop "seeping"?

Someone had suggested trying to find some type of clay, but I'd like
to get some opintions before we do anything else.

Thanks,


Hi Doc,

You have come to the right place and welcome.

Unfortunately we've been under attack froma bunch of lunatics lately.

I can't help you directly with your question, but look for an answer from
~janj She's very knowledgable and helpful and will steer you right.
