Filling In A Old Farm Pond

and here is today's little project what I'm doing is there's the old irrigation farm irrigation pond right here and they no longer irrigate out of it it's grown up the nasty mess they actually want to fill it in just over time if we get any junk like this dirt and topsoil and roots and stuff they said just bring it by here and dump it in here and push it off so what I'm going to do today is go down to the lower section kind of dig a little ditch through the dam it's not much made raining down 1824 inches and I'm going to come up here and clear about a third of this right here just so we have access to back down here and dump and then over time as we bring more material in here we'll clear more and just we're going to push it all in there so all they want to do is just push the trees over into the pond and cover them up with the dirt this is the leftover roots and junk from that last clearing project I just finished up so we brought that over here and I'm gonna go from there so I'm going to go down here to the dam clear and see if I can get some water draining out maybe deeper out there in the center I bring my doll I'm gonna do is just clear spot got to drain out across that you over here me more follow than I thought there's gonna be damn and down here about her walk won't be much longer make us early one animal Indra Harrison here two theta looks like all right little water out now not work in during them forehand quickly now now working on the Clery now I've already cleared probably 80 feet or so the pond is actually a little deeper than I thought it was going to be probably eight feet deeper so but I'm just taking this brush ripping it out down in here so we can get a good or five for the cover when we fill it in he said all they're trying to do is just get rid of this water over here all it is is just a maintenance nightmare we can have spotted um stuff they get a pond filled in they're happy and we're happy so dialing mr. Foreman it was a Spartan build dumbull junghwa Fez fill it in everything else just enough where I can get by because I want to take this stuff and throw on top of the trees they kind of mash them down into the water with all that's floating and we get rid of and just me very place to do that it's all filled in but in your life the trees probably won't rock so much stuff for a hero right now couple years property makes a pretty good job fool puns are nice but they can a lot of maintenance if you don't take care of before you know they get out of control like this and if thrush is still floodlight it's new like five in water like a lot of nerd fillers Oh thanks this two years and takes for two years somebody get the picnic trees down around this thing there's right goods ice know I guess when they log did they come over here bigger trees right in on that first one there's an X number here more than I was expecting but they were good and I can dig them I ever get this junk it out there on top all those treetops and single bon this was in the ground islands come out they exist they were twice as big very close triela roots there we go got it now I can take this and kind of get out there and to hold everything down I'm gonna work on this for a little while until I made pretty good progress for an hour trip down about halfway around it I didn't want to do it all right now cuz it'll be quite a while for all this gets filled in but just get enough down and I spread out that jumped me that halt down here to make a room to dump some more dirt out and dirt rocks whatever we got get this old swamp old filled in for them yeah water went down about two and half feet it looks like we'll just keep filling in tight back into those fields and I need this little sway loan down here
