The pond has been depressing me something horrible.
It’s been really hard to force myself to work outside when I see the pond empty. Everything I do outside always brought me to the pond.
I knew I needed to drain the water to clean it out. So today I decided to empty it. It smelled something awful and didn’t take long to find out one of the reasons why. I scooped out so many dead bloated frogs *barf*
When I got the water down to the last 6” or so I found out the water table is only 4’ down and pushing my liner up
I’m not sure now if expanding this year is a good idea. We are expecting more rain and I don’t think the water table will be going down anytime soon.
With that in mind I decided to try something out for now.
The pond had to be filled to keep the liner in place and protect it from getting wrecked. Then I tossed together an idea I had a while ago. None of this is exactly how I want it, but just enough to see how it would look and work.
There is a lot I’ll change if we don’t expand this year. And even if we do expand, I think I’ll want to have this small pond up top draining over into the main pond.
