| Mike-
Have I misunderstood something then? My impression was that mud ponds were all drained each year.
I do understand that then the pond can dry and rest and restore by interaction with the air. I thought I knew about the maintanence of pushing the clay back, compacting it, liming and seeding with manure to get them started again. It seems from what you've written that this is not for ALL mud ponds, that there is a rotation that does let water remain in some ponds for years. I've seen them dry in Florida and North Carolina, but haven't looked in Virginia or New Jersey or Japan. Help me out.
