Gunnite -vs- clay
 
How does the cost of Gunnite compare with the cost of laying down a
clay base (clay needs to be transported at a cost of $3,600. a truck
load, then spread and compacted)to seep-proof a 1/3 acre pond? Is it a
viable alternative? Can a dumb homeowner like me rent the equipment
and do it himself?

Liners won't work because livestock.

Thanks for any advice,
Ralph

you can put in a liner to hold the water then
add 1-2' of soil over it.
