How much does it hold when it isn't raining?

When we have our dry spells...holds nonthing......rainy season, once saturated , it hold long enough to hatch alot of skeeters

But not enough to support the fish to eat them! You need some barn and tree swallows

We got some , little darlins go in the goat house and poop on everything and we have had a few get into the back porch and sit in my plants and knock the soil out looking for dinner!

Curious, I've never seen them on the ground. fence, roofs, wires yes, never on the ground. They fly over the pond and vegetation areas picking off flying things.

They are little barn swallows here, even Florida deer are small...makes me laugh when they get excited about deer season here, may as well hunt for a dwarf goat !
Nonthing like deer, moose or bears up in new england !

TRUE !

I would think the "soil" makeup would make a big difference on whether hogs rooting would or would not cause it to seal. That sand you, @B&B Happy goats and @CntryBoy777 have doesn't seem like it would hold water no matter how much they "kneaded" it.

I know it sounds crazy, but it works.

The old fashioned way to seal a pond is to use hogs as it fills. Their wallowing seals the pond.

Get a couple of 500 pound Wilburs, that should do the trick!
