[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 5181076, member: 1951"] It very much depends on the quality of the clay and wetness if smearing works. There have been many ponds dug and never held a drop. In days of old when making a pond, they would dig it out , spread clay then straw and after a good rain you drove cattle round and round in it, to puddle it. Judging by the oudoor pig units round here having some pigs in the pit would do the same job they can make breckland sand hold water, only on somee units I hasten to add , before a certain pig man pulls me up :) [/QUOTE]
