No haven't planted anything. Banks and walk path around the pond is almost solid clay so nothing grows well on it. I have a lot of top soil piled up that I plan to spread on the walk path around the pond this fall before I seed. Work got too bust to get it done this spring so that's still on the to do list.

Try some oats broadcast on the banks. It won't have great germination but some of it will get washed in with rains and take hold. Relatively inexpensive, even in you buy the whole oats sold as horse feed from TSC or Rural King. Annual rye grass would also work for that. Any germination will help hold soil and prevent silt from running back into the pond.

Plant some Bermuda....it's great at minimizing erosion.
The rain has arrived tonight. Flash warnings and heavy downpours. Should know in the morning if the pond holds promise. I'll be disappointed if we don't gain several feet from this one.

Looking forward to the first time you have water flowing over your spillway. That really is the best !!!

Just send the drone!
Reports of anywhere from 4 to 7" of rain around us yesterday. We gained about 4ft of water and have about 4-5ft to go. Raining hard here again now.
