Mini duck-pond leak test!
As long as it checks out, I’ll be building a retaining wall around it, and backfilling with gravel and river stones, so that the ducks that are coming later this summer will have a nice place to splash around.
@N3VEM ducks are fun if a lot of work.
@stevewa yeah - we have a decent flock of chickens already, and I had ducks years ago, so luckily it’s not all new territory. I’m mostly just planning how to make everything easy to drain and clean because of how sloppy they can be.
@brad yeah - that helps with still flowing as it builds up - I suspect I’ll end up adding a dome over top of this one, but I’m going to wait and see. This will get drained and refilled probably every couple weeks, just because of the mess ducks make, so I’m curious if regular draining and hosing out will make a difference.
