Hey guys.
I have a small, 250 gallon pond that I built myself. I’ve been having problems with it and a lot of people on this site recommended me building a berm around the edge of my pond. I tried that and it utterly failed. It failed so bad to the point where that was a month ago and I’ve just let my pond look like crap out of frustration. I’m now ready to get back at it and make my pond beautiful again.
When I tried to build the berm, all I did was just mound up some dirt I had all around the pond. The very first rain after I did that washed all of it away and just made the pond uglier than it’s ever been. So I was wondering if I could receive any tips on properly building a small berm. I’ve attached images from when I built the berm and then after the rain washed it away.
My main theory is that I probably should’ve tamped all the dirt down to compact it? I don’t know, I’m a rookie.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you. I received great help on my last post and that meant a lot to me.
