Just a thought on the pond: If you're hoping to use it for swimming, having a pasture drain into it may introduce bacteria and other things you don't want to be swimming in, while a well would provide fresh clean water that constantly replenishes. However, as others have mentioned, you may continue to struggle with holding water if the leaks aren't fixed.
Well he won't have to worry about that. Won't ever be swimming looks like.
TJ you may have to just have to pump it out and pack the sides better, just do a complete do over. Might be best in the long run.
I live in northeastern N.Y.S. and know people who fenced-in their pond area, and let pig's run around in the area. They did a great job of sealing the pond and had no leakage. I have seen a couple of these ponds a year or so after the pig's and they are as clear as can be. The deepest part of one was 16 feet and you could see the bottom perfectly! Just a suggestion for you to ponder. Good luck 🤞 👍
The stream you made will fill your pond with soil and nutrients from the whole area. Use rocks to stop sediment. Gabion style might work. Vetiver grass along the whole earthwork will also work wonders. The pond shore should be 45 degrees, now it's too steep. Rent a dozer and a compactor
Regarding the pond: you already mentioned clay and packing. You might be able to put a plastic liner in. Some of the folks here in East TN have done that on leaky ponds and they mostly sealed back up. People here have also put in cat litter type clay (don't know actual name of the stuff) because it expands, clumps, and seals when it gets wet - though I don't know how you would be able to get it into the steep banks.
Regarding the well: may have to go deeper and wider. Sounds like you have water at shallow depths. But even though we have a pretty decent creek running through our field (15' wide x 2' deep avg), when I dug a pit near it to pump water from it, the pit would tap out and needed more water to seep in before I could pump more. A larger pit would create a larger reservoir and took longer to tap out, but it still wasn't enough. So I ended up having to try to pump directly from the creek (then we had a flood and the pump broke 😂🤣😂). It's a "maybe next year" project to get a pump going again.
We have a well and it was 13k for us. In south Tx. We also had to go 574’ down to hit the water table too.
Goats will keep the briars down. Unfortunately, we were never able to keep goats in any fence we had. We have about 1 mile of fence and they would jump over any spot where they saw something interesting on the other side.
I used to operate dozers and one main thing is clay bottom. Rent a dozer and get it done. Push your dirt until you hit clay. You just playing with your backhoe.
Cool pond 👍 cut trees off of pond dam
The roots may make the dam leak
But i can also make the argument for keeping them ....SHADE 😆🤣lol
Cool pond design. Im gonna copy it with the boat ramp ....very cool😎
Put a fence around it, put some hogs in it, in no time, it will hold water.
No need for a well.
Big plans means more content. Im a happy camper!
Property looks really nice TJ!
Liner would be a good option
I heard ducks help with sealing. But could be an old wise tale
Scammer
Welp, it's a good muddin hole at this point 😂
Thanks for the update. Those tree roots will cause the damn to leak so it won’t hold water.
Why is not finish yet.. Did you stop the construction?
Telling you... fence in about 20 pigs. Piglets are only about $10 a piece.
Great video I got a question how much land you got and what's the dimensions of your pond thanks buddy
A year later - how is the pond looking?
You did not have to spray the briers and weeds the goat's will eat all of it
The water may be draining down through that deep hole you left.
And the poison in the spray will kill all the honey bees
No 360 camera?
What the hell would you get donkeys for don't let your dogs get near your donkeys
Bear tracks?
Yup, we’ve had a couple on camera this year
Ducks are gona destroy the weeds
What state do you live in? This is awesome
Alabama 👍🏼
whatever happen to the overlander camper
Damn dude you don't look old enough to have an eighteen year old lol
Haha Thanks man, she’s my youngest, my son is 21… lol
@@KayakUSA1 sheesh! Old man! Lol
That pond will never hold water properly until you actually pack it properly. Channel would have 100k subs by now if it was finished with some fish in it. Worth the investment IMO.
buy a flock of ducks. in a year the lake stops losing water
