Oh god..my husband is out there digging it deeper as we speak !!

 

[koiguy1969]

deeper is always better.

Do u think? He's just digging to a meter and I've told him no more.
He has a chest infection so he shouldn't be out digging really.

a meter is just over 3 feet , if he takes it down to that and leaves out the lower shelves your fish will be pretty safe from preditors too. and it's better for wintering your fish.. but two feet deep is fine. do the fishing line trick also if you have herons.

It depends on where you live. Here in NY you have to be 2 feet because it can freeze to 18 inches.
