In this book you will find the steps and processes it takes to build an earth pond, this particular pond is a dug and dam pond made entirely of earth using heavy equipment. The author, Darrell Rhoades started to build his pond but found there was a lot more to it than just digging a hole and letting it fill up. Sure that is the basic concept but do we need a permit? How will the pond fill up? Will it hold water? Are there certain shapes or designs that that are better? And plenty more questions. As you can see there are plenty of questions that come up when your are planning to build a pond, let alone the main question about what will the pond be used for. The author covers everything from the planning stage to adding fish and planting grass. Pond safety to pond problems is also included in the book. • A refreshing look at building a farm pond in simple terms. • Planning the pond and determine if you have the right soil. • Covers the digging process and equipment • Building the Dam and safety • Where the water comes from and if it is good quality • Leaking ponds • Planting Grass to Stocking Fish • Pond Problem and Cures • Plus many more details, such as aeration, fountain’s and bacteria

I appreciate the author trying to do a how to, however this is far from a "step by step." This is clearly a complicated and technical subject, but this book does very little to help a landowner with little excavation experience build a true farm pond. The author had a cousin who owns an excavation company assist in his building process, but mentions this cousin very little. I know it is very difficult to translate practical guidance to written word, so I gave him a break on my rating. Overall, not very helpful to me.
Lots of useful information but the pictures aren't very clear and the text needed a lot of editing to fix the typos and grammatical errors.
This is a very practical book. In my case, I made a well-informed decision not to build a farm pond. It was the information in this book that led me to this decision and kept me from making a major, costly mistake and leaving me with a big mud hole. I would consider this a 3,000% return on investment over the cost of the book.
I bought this to put in a backyard pond. This is not for a backyard pond. I have a friend whom has a farm pond that I have been trying to help. There very poor oxygen in the lower parts of his lake. I am going to give this to him. He loves to read.
