Continue on improvinmg ,my water as much as possible and may fool
around with a few 55 gal drums made into filters , settlement chambers, perhaps a trickle tower etc, and see if I can get the water looking better than it already is.....I just installed a new 1" water line to the pond area and garden, and also ran a new #4 220 VAC underground electric service so its just wanting more pumps hooked up to it, and I have pump on the way, as well as a nice Haywood that came from a pool which will work good with lots of head pressure ....Probably try and increase depth another foot, if my current spillway and overflow hold up, then I'll add another 1 foot to water level and make it so there is only about an 8 inch bank at the highest point, and it will extend it surface wise a pretty fair distance, which will make my shallow section approx 2 feet deep minimum. All it takes is clay, dirt bentonite and time. I have a slight seep right now and hopefully the bentonite will soon kick in and stop it, but its no a big deal, but sometimes it can take a couple of days for bentonite to do its thing. If I do raise the level I have a heap of plants thats gonna need relocating as well, so one thing leads to another and it never ends.... ============================================== Put some color in your cheeks...garden naked! |
