Water Quality Issues in Your Farm Pond
If you use your farm pond for anything more than raising koi or handling stormwater, you need to test the water at least once a year.
Farm Pond Nuisance Plants and Animals
Nuisance plants and animals can ruin the water quality, kill off fish and chosen plants, and damage a pond liner with sharp claws.
Farm Pond Security and Liability
Even if your pond is located entirely on private property with no visibility or advertising, you are responsible for any injuries or damage caused by the feature.
Importance of Vegetation Around Your Farm Pond
Not only does a pond with exposed raw soil stand out unpleasantly from the rest of the landscape, but it’s also prone to erosion and leaks without a protective layer of vegetation.
Spreading a Farm Pond Liner
For small landscaping ponds of just a few hundred gallons, spreading pond lining material by hand is a simple process.
Quick Tips on Excavating or Building Your Farm Pond Dam
Using heavy machinery to excavate the pond or shape the embankment dam goes relatively quickly, but it requires plenty of care and attention.
How to Plan for Drainage in Your Farm Pond
Almost all ponds, except for raised excavated designs on flat surfaces with high levees, intake some amount of runoff water.
