Getting close to finishing off this years pond restoration effort. Have applied final layer of dirt (1-2inches) to lower section of pond. We then reseeded this section running a chain harrow over ground to create ‘furrows’, hand spreading seed and then running vehicle over ground to compress seed into ground. Now I have just got to finish off the overflow section and the project will be completed.

We were hoping for the promised rain and I even washed the truck to try and spur the rain on, but unfortunately no rain yet!

Final layer of dirt has been spread on lower edge of pond and reseeded.
