Plow your snow into the pond for extra water. Planting shade trees around it will help keep it cooler and from evaporating.

We have a large small pond and wish we could have went bigger. The life it brings to our yard all year round is worth it!
What a lovely guy! Such great charisma
Living the dream. I'll be copying you some day.
Don’t skimp onthe planting! You have an amazing opportunity to create something truly amazing with the right plant selection and design. In 10,20,30 years from now you’ll thank yourself. Just my two cents, great job by the way
I’ll do my best. I’m always rushing to get trees in the ground, and for year it looks like nothing. 🙏✌️
Also will the pond being 30ft deep, you can use it for geothermal heating the house and green houses in the winter
It's so nice to see you again! Must have been a busy summer.
Looking forward to winter, which forces me to stop. 😂✌️
What an inspiration!
I appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge. Your videos are top notch. Thank you sir
Incredibly impressive. You took my experiment to times 1 million 🤠. Awesome job!
I love the pond.. you guys are sure livin the good life!
One day I’m going to sit down and enjoy it. 🙂
Fantastic we’ll done 😊
That depth helps A LOT with evaporation. Very nice
You rock.
Now this is the best example of working smart and not hard.
great video. thinking about doing the same on a 20 acre slough, that was a decent lake 50 years ago. We're talking Billy Gerhart sized swamp extractors ;) ( oak island) - so much that can be done with some creativity.
Solitude; lovely lake for night time bat listening kit. While they skim the water for moths & what not. Hope you add some dead trees in a quite spot for bugs & insects to scurry about & help feed the fishes.
Excellent work!! That's very cool that everyone and thing is benefiting. That water looked really clean too. Good job!!
Love it
Giving it away free is always a way to ingratiate oneself with ones neighbours - even bigger win!!!
:)
thanks for the update. i look forward to the next one.
Great video
Great!
That’s awesome
Now that’s a nice hole! Nice to see you again!
Another job well done 👏
fantastic
Well done.👍
if the rainbows don’t do well, try using brown trout because they can handle warmer water easier from what i understand.
True, but natural brown trout might be slower growing. At that depth the summer water temperature should remain chilly hopefully.
Always appreciate the videos, thanks.
Oh man, the geese and ducks are going to pile in there heavy! Enjoy!
Not sure if you are gona need it but ive seen lots of artificial ponds/lakes with an areator to help prevent the formation of algae. Tho im sure you're already thought about it! It helps also oxygenate the water for the fish/wildlife.
Keep working! keep Inspiring! love the vids bud.
Great build even get a super ice rink as well. You’re a trailblazer! Love your holistic microclimate and ecosystem approach. Can’t wait to see your livestock operation begin.
Lakes have a water source like a river, and I believe an outlet of water as well. Great work!
Heading your way in couple weeks not looking forward to the snow there calling for :(
Great work. Exactly right on everything you’ve saying. Your experience skills were really valuable! The only thing I would say is that old cycles won’t mean much with climate change, but your doing the best possible thing either way. Good thing you don’t need a 10 year long impact study first!
Before modern ag and coastal cities, the land held back a lot more water. I can see how that change could change things for the worse. Ironically California (biggest government bureaucracy) has the most uncontrolled wildfires and drought. Go figure. 😂
@@ArkopiaRUclips The history of how California agriculture was created and how the native population was treated is fascinating. Water needs to be allowed to follow it’s old flow patterns as much as possible. Original inhabitants knew that floods were a time of abundance that recharged groundwater. The overflows efficiently calmed the water energy. Greed, arrogance and ignorance of our early 20th century settlers led to all this. We have to go back to aboriginal ways.
@@Swampwild1 Not much water is allowed to be held back. Storm drains to the ocean also carrying the topsoil seems smart🤪
You're just killing it, fixing off all the boxes of me dreams xD
At least I now have a pile of up cycled 60 by 240cm glass in my barn... Hopefully I'll be able to catch up one day. :)
Not a race. I don’t feel set up. All my projects are unfinished. It’s a journey, just keep at it. ✌️
Yabut… the British refer to going across the Atlantic Ocean, as “going across the pond”. I’m still confused, but at least I know my bathtub is just a bathtub… unless it’s clear like a sea, or a swamp, after I get out. Sheesh, water is difficult. 😮
😂
We use the same saying in Germany. Going acoss the Atlantic Ocean is called "going across the big pond" The use as a synonym for the Atlantic Ocean is best known, but in Northern Germany the expression 'big pond' is used for 16 other bodies of water. Funny.
Would you consider weighing down a couple of logs/debris at the bottom of the pond for the future aquatic wildlife that’ll live in there?
Oh for sure I will be putting structure down there. ✌️
My father was an amateur fisherman and already I learned as a child that trout need running water. Unlike carp. They love standing water. I've never liked carp because they always taste musty. Now I'm confused. Do trout survive in stagnant water?
What about pangasius, zander, Zärte (lat. Vimba vimba) or various types of crab? They should also be able to be maintained.
Rainbow trout is the go-to extreme cold weather pond fish around here. I haven’t heard of anyone where I live doing anything else. Sounds like a challenge for me. 😂
Everyone likes free shit! Nice system!
a year ago i opened our dug out again had a dozer clean it. kept sluffing back in . used old hoe went 15 feet deep i burmed it up all around and so far not filling back up. nest summer want to make it a lot bigger. we will be planting trees all around . lots of wildlife use the water. we add collidal silver water to keep the water clean
This clay sure doesn’t sluff back in. Just gets carved out streams a little by heavy runoff. Colloidal Silver fixes all. 👍
Um, where is you water table?
Are you going against any municipal regulations?
Are you concerned about contamination of surface water to groundwater?
Excellent build
By the way 😊
Water table is higher than any farm dugout around here. Not concerning at all. ✌️
I know the difference between a boys club and the rest of us.
Looks great! So what’s the next project now?
Sleep 😂✌️
A lake is a body of water that is large enough for a swan to take off and fly ,a pond isn't.
First
Dog, funny.
Why don't you have any plants? It will help with infiltration, water quality, aquatic life, insects to help feed the fish, etc. Make some riparian habitat!
Excavator just left digging it, and it’s October in Saskatchewan (everything is frozen dead) ✌️
