Default Pond Digging 101

I dug mine in an area that couldn't be accessed easily by even a small
machine like the Bobcat type and that sized equipment. I dug mine by myself
with the assistance of a gas powered one man auger (posthole digger) rented
from the local Home Depot for $35 for the day.... Just punched holes to the
depth that I estimated and had great control how the hole turned out... I
had really hard clay like material that I had to dig down through combined
with roots from a palm tree to deal with. When I got enough holes dug I
just connected the dots so to speak. I then used a tool called a Mutt which
is a large chisel like tool to sculpture out the hole. A hole lot better
than digging it with a shovel.... (pun intended.)
