Pond Pix

Speculation on my part.If that pond was constucted without a core trench ,that is likely the source of the leak.Those KY soils are not the blue clay we have in this part of the country and it likely contains a lot of gravel.

Most likely the easist way to repair it is to pump it down and seal it off with plastic.You might pump it and haul in about 2 feet of clay but either way it's not going to be cheap.

You could do the hog trick or compact it with a sheeps foot roller but still in all you can't compact sand and gravel to hold water.

Che, the 'run hogs' trick is a lesson I learned from an old timer. Why dont you ask an old timer in your area for advice?

I think we have a pretty good source of info with this last operator. We paid the bill today, when we get THIS paid off.....we'll call him back. Shook his hand today and told him he does BEAUTIFUL work!
