We wonder if the pond not filling/draining properly has something to do with a particularly squelchy bit , so it tiem to sort it out .
first empty it - just dig out the retaining wall
once that was done, there was quite a lot of silt in the bottom of the pond. So it would need taking out
Someone has clearly been here before . I found this pie buried next to the pond . I've no idea where it goes - it didnt seem to be carrying anything from wherever it originates.
And I found the place where water runs into the pond from the bank,
And there is a lot of drainage in the channel that clearly exists for the run-off from the pond.
But im not digging too much of that out.
So once the silt has been dug out, a drainage channel cleared, its time to put a dam back and see what happens.
