We dug some sample holes last night for the pond. It was really neat to see the virgin layers that were deposited by the glaciers. I live on wind blown clay hills. We found about 6 feet of topsoil, 3 feet of Fayette wind blown clay, 3 feet of extremely black muck 3 feet of marl then glacial till.
We need to move all the dirt to get down to the glacial till for building the dam. I will end up with 100-200 loads of good black dirt left over. I am going to pile that somewhere.
The pond will be about 2 acres.
The muck is what they make potting soil out of now.
The marl is calcium carbonate and clay mixed.
I am thinking of grinding the muck with the marl and spreading it on the fields.
