Dug pond

Overcast and light rainfall off & on during the day. More rain in past 24 hrs. Very wet and marshy walking in to the pond area. Some dragonflies around. Bull rushes and weeds all around the edges of the pond.

Sunny day with no rain in past 24 hrs. Some green algae bloom along the bottom of the pond and heavy plant growth all around it.

Sunny calm day with no rain in past 24 hours. Songbirds heard….some mosquitoes and water bugs. Usual weeds as seen here commonly.

Pond is EMPTY! Extremely dry year (no memory of it ever being empty ever in the past).
It rained last night so the water test uses the puddle in the middle of the pond (rain water).
Also to note, a dock/observation deck is being built for this pond.
** Conductivity & water thermometer gauge not working (think need new batteries) so no results for these test.
