Got a pond built.

submitted by Epictetus to Gardening 2.6 yearsOct 29, 2021 16:34:14 ago (+38/-0)     (Gardening)

I've been trying to get a pond that will hold water through the winter, for the last few years. Bentonite clay with a reinforced liner over the top, then riprap to protect it from deer feet.

I should let Middle and Horse know that this place exists.

The geese should get ready for my 12 gauge bismuth BB shot shells.

Bad karma comes to those who poop around someone's pond.

You stupid niggerfaggot, I'd be killing for food ;-) the reduced shit would just be a bonus. That said, provided nothing else worked and if the shit harmed the functionality of the pond I would consider that a justified kill.

I'm a man who was waterfowl hunting for 6 hours today. What are you doing with your weekend?

Ducks, not geese, and the shit feeds the minnows. They generally stay out of the pond anyways, the bluegill scare the shit out of them.

That is AWESOME!

Where did you get the bentonite clay? Just use unscented cat litter or what?

I just ordered a pallet of it from the feed store. Big R has 50lb bags too if you have one around you.

Lucky you! Looks great. If we built one it'd unfortunately be a mosquito farm and bear attractant.

Haven't had any problems with bears yet, which is surprising.

He's browsing.

Wish I would have known about this place sooner. I'll have to do a garden update of the past year. Dropped into full homestead mode.

Nice. Gonna stock it with anything?

[ - ] Epictetus [op] 5 points 2.6 yearsOct 29, 2021 20:11:04 ago (+5/-0)

It's got four loch Leven trout, three large mouth bass, two channel cats, a white sucker, and about 40 various panfish. Also has a healthy population of crawfish, minnows, and shad.

The bluegill spawned almost as soon as I put them in last spring and I've got quite a few fry in it.

Extremely jealous. Please share any details you can. Getting some land soon and definitely want to build a pond if there isn't a natural one.

[ - ] Epictetus [op] 1 point 2.6 yearsOct 29, 2021 22:59:57 ago (+1/-0)

I'll share details if you share how many kikes will be in your cabinet come 2024...

Oy vey! You'll have to check with my son in law.

[ - ] Epictetus [op] 0 points 2.6 yearsOct 30, 2021 19:12:55 ago (+0/-0)

Hit me up when you get land, I'll recommend what to do when you know what the soil is like.
