Possible execptions

I need to go out and dig a test hole to see if we can even have a pond here which is what we ultimately want to do. It means digging a small test patch at least 6 feet deep--not fun. I keep putting it off. Once the hole is dug it isn't a big deal. You fill it with water and see if it holds in 24 hours. If it has sunk a few inches you refill it, but after a day or two it should be saturated enough to hold without dropping overnight. If it doesn't then you can't simply dig a pond you have to line it which is really expensive if you want a large lake which we do. I think if it turns out the ground won't hold water on its own I'm going to go with small interconnected ponds that can be dug out and lined individually, connected by small creeks. I've seen similar types of things at a condo once, it was really pretty. It will make a lovely visual here even though it isn't the big lake we wanted.
