Dig date
Hi Everyone!
Well I'm off of work tomorrow and all next week for spring break. I start digging my hole in the morning. 15x15 and 4 ft deep. I'm go put in two bottom drains with pipe boots that feed into a settlement hole in back of the pond that I'm looking at being around 4ft deep and 3x6 long, then this will go into a veggie filter with filter mat back into the pond. I want to have a venturi in there also. I am getting rather excited although I hate the thought of all that digging. I'm go be one sore woman. It'll probably take a week to dig all that.

Wow, that is a lot of digging. If you haven't done much physical activity
lately, you'll probably take a couple of days off after the 1st day. I got tired just rearranging the garden to accommodate a new pond. pmwebdesigns wrote: Hi Everyone!

Hi Priss,
You have courage and will have strong muscles. Have you considered having a guy/gal with a backhoe do the heavy lifting for you? Wouldn't cost all that much and it would be done in one morning. We did that for our pond...16x22x2. It was really fast! Jim "pmwebdesigns" wrote in message ... Hi Everyone! Well I'm off of work tomorrow and all next week for spring break.

I wish you luck and hope you can afford the chiropractic adjustements afterwards. lol Shawn Wow, that is a lot of digging.
