Working on the pond. Any suggestions on how to keep water in it? Asking for a friend. 💦

As mentioned, bentonite clay, hogs, or a sheepsfoot roller.

It seems your hole has been dug for a while, long enough for grass to grow, but I can't really see evidence that it's retained water yet.

I see a very well-defined horizon break where the soil layers change.

When you get a chance, post a closer picture of the soil profile and tag me. Can't really determine clay content from an image, but I might be able to notice something that may help.

Thanks. It has been dug for a couple of years. The water table during the rainy parts of the year is almost to ground level. I will get you a better picture but the light brown on the walls is clay. From there down it is all clay.
