ryaldinhio 4,139 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well following the torrential downpour today the hole has started becoming a pond. There is about a 1 - 2ft in there now. I cant post pics if someone can do it and has whatsapp pm me number and I will send few pics of the water level coming up.

ryaldinhio 4,139 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Looking fantastic! I bet the rain is doing you a favour. Yep, bring it on! I have never wished for a wet winter before.... Planning on having a borehole done next year if finances allow. That way I can keep it topped up in the driest of dry summers too. Farmer should be removing the clay mountain this week and relandscaping with the topsoil then it moves onto stage 2 planting. Its guna be a long haul but all I keep thinking about is when Im retired and I can float fish for 5-6lb tench in a nice little mature pond in my back garden, my own little paradise. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
