Subject: [permaculture] natural lining of ponds


> Hello,
>
> I'm new to the list - am looking for information re: lining my fishpond.
> Three meters deep, with an approx diameter of 20 meters. Measures are VERY
> approximate. The slope of the pond is such that you can walk down the
> sides, but not very comfortably.
>
> I've heard of using pig manure which is either "tamped" in (like as one
> tamps a dirt floor - I think this is the word) or burned. Tamping is
> do-able, although it doesn't sound like much fun. Burning would seem like
a
> pretty huge bonfire, lots of wasted energy and more warming than we need.
> Anybody have an idea of how much of a layer of pig manure would be ideal?
>
> I've also heard of using ash as a liner, but don't know how that would
work.
>
> Any other ideas? A place for me to start looking? I've done some searching
> on the internet but haven't found anything on natural liners.
>
> We definitely need something, We had enough rainfall to fill up the pond
> several times but it leaked out immediately.
>
> Thanks,
