Default Pond digging techniques

We put in an acre pond here in central MS. I got together with the
wildlife people and with the soil conservation people. They were VERY
helpful. Also, they had a conservation grant that piscked up 75% of
the conservation part of the dig.

We used a dozer and a pan. Backhoe for the bass holes.

The dam is about 80 yds long.

Read well first. If you are not familiar with the equipment, a pro
does it faster and safer.
