I am forking it out by hand into a wheelbarrow, which limits me to working in areas with 5" depth or less, but in a dry year the pond may go down enough so that I can get out into the middle where it is 8" deep. It will take time since I can only work on it a bit at a time with the other things that need to be done, but I can see a difference already. Zach
