If I dug a pond and the earth couldn't hold the water could I dig deep and transfer some sand or earth that can and line my pond?

Plastic would be cheaper and a lot less work...

Dont listen to these IDIOTS.......dig "half a hole" to check and save time

Half a hole? I never thought of that.

Do the top half first, its easier that way

In BKK they just dig and fill the hole but it all depends of the soil you got.

If you have dense heavy clay you might give it a try (small hole first).

..what you get for sale of the soil will help offset the cost of the digger and plastic.

Years back I worked on a UK farm and recall a duck pond being dug out with a Drott / bulldozer. If I remember correctly, the driver spread clay over the excavated area and repeatedly worked back and forth with the tracks further adding to the compaction and water-tightness of the pond.

So, yes it is possible.

Just buy a ready made hole, theyre available on gumtree.
