I went out today to take a look at my ponds, I want to seed the banks and put hay down but rain stoped me. One thing is for sure they hold water. We had a nice little thunderstorm and I have about 2 inches of water in each pond. In the morning I am going out to put down seed and hay, I hope I can anyway. Not sure if I can get the measurements that I wanted because of rain but I will try, who cares if I get muddy
The contractor still says the ponds are only 4 foot deep but they cant be. Im going to take some string and tie across the ponds and measure down to the bottom. Maybe it is the side slope that is throwing me off. But if you were to measure down the side slope it would have to be at least 10 to 12 foot, so I dont see how they could be four foot deep. When those ponds are full of water if I stand in the middle it will I am sure be over my head. I am 5'6 and a quarter tall. Needless to say I am very pleased with the ponds. Now I just gotta get something in them. Anyone got any idea what would be a good start for me on the koi to sell this year or should I wait untill next year. What size koi would be a good start?
