If you search 'mudshovel' online you can find a number of tools like what I used in this video. There is also a music video by a band named Staind I think that is called mudshovel, but personally I'd encourage you to skip that.
They are too expensive for what they are I think... Consider taking an old shovel and drilling sharpie sized holes in a good number of spots in it and see how it does for ya!

Sean I really appreciate the way you respect the power words have. I see the way you chose to use, or not use, words and it makes your videos so welcoming. Thankyou!
I’m all for asmr. I could watch you quietly work there all day. Thanks
What I love the most about your vids it has to be the observe and act. It teaches the permaculture design philosophy, observe and interact. the other one that shines through is value the margins. Keep up the great work and may your days be blessed.
I always enjoy the water management videos! There is something so satisfying about how a little shovel work over time can have such profound effects. I have a lot of this to do on my land 😆
I thought I wasn't particularly interested in the ASMR idea, but then the gentle sloshing and snow crunching at the end was so hypnotic that I think I changed my mind :D
I'd like a longer-style shoveling asmr video!
Get out and do a ton of shoveling and it won't be soothing anymore
Glad to know, and I will certainly keep it in mind!
I don't know what your reasoning is regarding affiliate links but just want to say I think it's totally fine to recommend things you are actually using and it's totally fine to make a few extra pennies from videos that take time and effort to produce. Just my opinion of course. Anyway, love the pond and am super jealous because our land just isn't suitable for a pond unless I use an artificial liner, which I am not keen on.
To answer your ending question: I really enjoy the knowledge transfer and visual demonstrations that empower me to do what I want to do outside. I think more ASMR would result in more people not actually being outside, but spending more time on their screens indoor. Thanks :)
Interesting note. There are definitely a fair number of folks who watch the channel that live in cities and enjoy the content as a way to vicariously experience this life so it's all a balance...
Water works fascinate me, always have
you are an artist of the landscape
I like the spillway placement design and it’s filtering capabilities that being said I would prefer the spillway as it leaves the pond to be at least two and a half times away from the down side of the pond embankment, this will help with over saturation of water with in the pond downstream side of the pond and help with possible erosion as time passes. (To much water on both sides of embankment.) Another possible solution is change the location of the spillway more to the bottom center, use rock to contain erosion from spillover and that would help with directing the water away from the embankment. I can’t see in your video where the water actually ends up going to, so there maybe another solution I can’t see. Definitely plant bog plants on the downside of the pond for erosion prevention purposes.
Thanks for showing how you're managing deliberate spillways and mitigating erosion. I've been doing the same type of work on our property, and learning from your experience is enormously helpful. I appreciated your reminder to slow down and spread the water flows, and to create pooling basins and gentle spillways - I would love more in depth demonstrations on this. I've also had quite water-logged pathways this time of year - similar to what you have shown, and may be inclined to improve those, perhaps with some drainage ditches as you illustrated.
That seeping is definitely a no-biggy that won't go away by itself either and which earns its place on the list. Good reason to spread wood chips on the pathway.
the pond is beautiful, it looks like a skating rink
So pleased to see an update on this project. These "illustrated" waterworks design notes are fantastic. Re the "seeping path", I wonder if 6+ inch bed of coarse wood chips there might create a porous layer that that water could percolate *under* while maintaining a cold/dry top layer on the path?
Woof chips help some, but to much water and they lose structure and become boggy.
I think that's a very reasonable idea, if we get an abundance of wood chips at some point, I will definitely keep that in mind
You sure do work that shovel fast! 😆 Good demonstration.
Great work. I see an outdoor sauna, sweat lodge, ice baths in that beautiful pond 😉
Always loving the Chicken TV Asmr Videos, and i would really like to see some Sean Digging Asmr 🙏
The landscape with the snow and this frozen pond looks so magical!
Thanks for letting us know that removal would be best. I cant imagine what would happen if a storm brought down one of those trees releasing the pond.
Love this content. Although I only have 1/3 of an acre and no room for a pond, your trench work and silt catching videos help me think about improving my muddy garden. Especially in a flood prone neighborhood. Thanks!
I think being able to work with water with a shovel at a human scale has good value from a tiny tiny water holding space up to pretty large scale, Ponds
Hello. Yes, I mean you. Have you already pressed the Like button? It's an easy way to support this channel.
These are nice.. This one was 16 minutes.. Got a fire started out here in the barn, started coffee, started the video and was able to sit here and relax and watch. This is my time of the day to gather my thoughts and plan out what is most important to accomplish for the day. (And at 63 I need to plan out the best way if I'm going to be doing this at 64) This year on top of adding a couple raised beds I'd like to attempt to build a post shed like you did a couple years ago. We shall see ... Cheers ole boy.
Yes to the long form shoveling asmr.
What does asmr stand for?

@@Dontreallycare5 glad you knew. Because I sure didn’t. 😂
Definitely enjoyed watching it and literally thought to comment saying you should make more videos just like this one haha.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your hindsight’s. You have a beautiful piece of property.
Wow! The pond looks amazing today! I remember when you first started even thinking about making a pond there. This is very satisfying. I'll be putting in two on the property I steward this year, finally. Our big one leaks still but slowed it down with clay in some areas. I would love to see your asmr pond vids for sure Shaun. Sending you and Sasha and your little bean lots of love and goodwill.
I am sympathetic to the desire to keep trees, but once you find that your plan involves putting a couple of feet off dirt on top of their roots, they are most likely going to die. In the context of a water retaining feature that means rotting roots and pathways for water egress.
I will say again that I would like to see a wider spillway. The wider it is the more flow you can get over it in a large rain event without getting erosive speeds.
I like seeing water works and would appreciate to see more of updates, maintenance iritve work done on them. Just show how you work on them a little bit at a time and I also want time laps of how land reacts to water events. How it receives water and handles it
Good to know there is interest there!
Yes please, longer form would be great. I'm planning on buying a piece of land (1-2 acres) in the next year or so and am loving the knowledge I soak up from your channel. Appreciate ya'll
Wow, another great video. Thumbs up.
Love your videos and would appreciate any ASMR attempts. Your channel is a kind of relaxation experience as it is. One of the reasons why I love the videos. Thanks for the work you do!
I think that if it's a video that's more of a tutorial or demonstration, speeding up the parts like digging make sense. I think that maybe if it's more of a chilled out tour or more experiential video, the asmr aspect would fit a lot more nicely in it.
Your videos are always great. The explanations and visuals of everything you do is informative and very interesting. A long format video of you digging around the pond would be very pleasant but I wouldn’t mind some time lapse in it as well just to be able to see an entire project from start to finish.
That over flow could be filling a smaller pond ?? 😊
i'd love more trench digging!
When it comes down - It would be nice to see if there's any spalting in the Ash tree.
Shovel with holes, great idea for moving wet soil! Why did I never think of that? 🤔
It really helps a lot to use a tool like that
Drain that and let it get dry, Go back in and get that island of trees out they will die. Every tree you put dirt around is suffocating they will die. pull the stumps in the dam. I dont know the lay of your land. Put some big rock in that over flow if the pond is full and you get a big rain it will make a big cut in the soil. I would drop the overall level atleast a foot. Again rain event will overtake your dam. Good luck I wish I had been there to get you started. Think long term and silting in from the land around. You have a good thing there.
"Sunday Shovel" hehe
From a design perspective, the spillway should probably be wider. Think 6 to 12 feet but very shallow. Putting in rocks at the beginning of the spillway helps with erosion, and keeping it without debris (cloggi g) keep the mulch/silt traps later along the course of the overflow.
That is to move water farther away from the dam without impediment for emergency purposes, and then filtering and infiltrating it.
Love the pond as is, and also I agree the trees in place are nice, so be it if the water infiltrates the landscape more. It’s part of the function of a pond to sustain the trees around it, no ? :)
I would like to see your pond videos in sequence, or at least have them numbered.
3:25 I sugset to just move soil more into the poind to leave trees off the berm. To make the trees just clouse and not in the berm
Nice to watch and learn with you. Even if compacted, wouldn't water still move through the berm slowly? I would question whether it's necessary to remove those big beautiful trees to stop the water from seeping out.
Good luck!
Worth while asking the question to be sure... I think for the moment we're pretty OK with it being gently leaky so long as it doesn't go and blow out!
The trees are probably going to get root rot. The dirt seems way above the root collar. You could probably try to save it in the spring. Maybe you could dig the pond deeper.
We can't dig deeper, we are shallow to bedrock here... I believe the trees will die so we'll have to see how this all unfolds

have you considered using bentonite to seal up the pond? perhaps the carbon/environmental footprint of manufacturing it will be offset by the trees you get to keep in the landscape.
I'm not opposed to using Bentonite, but I tried it a bit and it didn't seem to have much affect. I think where there's mechanical loss of water holding due to roots from trees it won't be able to overcome that.
Great Pond do you get any Amphibians in it ? If so what type ? I have a pond where I built a hibernaculum in it and we get loads of amphibians like newts frogs and toads 🐸💚🐸
Question, we cut down a huge pine tree. Can we make a hugel mound from the whole trunk?
A lot of variables there so I'm not sure how to answer exactly but I can say that we've Incorporated some pretty large trunks of pine species trees into permanent raised garden beds and 5 to 10 years later and it's some of the richest soil we have in the landscape
thank you so much. love your channel!@@edibleacres
Is your pond fed by a spring?
