Learned that on the farm . Put a electric fence around it when you get it dug and put some feeder pigs in the pond they will seal the pond and can be sold at a profit when there job is done

How is the pond going. I'll bet it won't hold water. My grandfather did the same thing back in the 50s. He had a pond built on top of wet spot. The pond would rise any fall with the water table. Fast-forward about 57 years, we had a major drought in 2010. The sod grass farm down stream from us pumped the aquifer slow it caused a trimmer. The pond dried up. Daddy's well pump started pumping black sand and the water smelled like rotten eggs. In 2020, I saw a convict worm come out of the bathroom faucet. The same convict worms that live in the pond. I am now trying to reverse the damage caused by the sod grass farm which went out of business when the trimmer happen.

Looks good!! We have a creek and a pond (unfortunately not connected) and we really enjoy them. I think your deep hole would be an awesome place for some fish to go hide - wonder what it would look like on a sidescan/sonar image...

[jacobbuckley]

I have a blade in front of my excavator cuts the job in like half the time. But nice work. Digging mine this week weather permitting

TJ he didn't put in a overflow while he was there, you want to be sure to add it to the dam, now the time to add..also don't make the mistake of not having a wide dam either..

Thanks for sharing this project. We're just getting ready to dig a pond, but getting high bids due to the complexity of our site ;( Wish I could just rent the gear and get working, which would save me a lot, but don't want to screw up a project of this magnitude.

[brockdelorenzo]

How many hours of digging to get that size? I have a small pond on my property that I would like to expand. Debating based on price.

[SouthWestCarpHunter]

That’s never gonna hold water without compacted base or key trench

[RedSinter]

Well, if it won't hold on one end u r going to line it? And don't forget plants for water treatment.

[stevedoty]

Just came across your channel. Hope to see the end and upcoming videos.

[derekblanchard]

Dude the pond is coming along great, can't wait to see it done...are you going stock it with some bass? Thanks again for the video TJ...

Just so you know that super deep hole will not be so deep in a yr or two. It will fill with sediment real quick, which is a good thing, I alway dig a sediment ditch down the middle of the pond, otherwise, your 12 ft deep pond will be 6 ft deep in a few seasons.
