This pond is in southern Mississippi.....

if you do have something close to 20% clay you can "fatten up" the clay by adding salt (think table salt).


How much do you need to put in/how often? Does it affect the fish in the pond?

Look up Gundle Liners. They do liners for landfills, crawfish ponds, you name it. They cut a pond liner for me about 15 years ago. Worked like a charm. Didn't cost near as much as I thought it would.


Do you have a ballpark price?

don't add salt to the water. drain the pond and let it dry enough to work the surface. spread salt at recomended lbs/sq yd and disk it in. next compact with dozer or something else heavy enough to insure good contact.
