Pond soil for fruit trees

@bigiggye

My experience is that it is very good after it has set 3-5 years. Usually i dump it over the back of the dam into ditches etc…It is extremely rich and frequently weeds try to reclaim it quickly. Grass grows up there a short time afterwards in year 3. The first 2 years it is not usable for anything and nothing grows in it besides weeds. It is awfully rich for fruit trees. If you dont mind waiting it is good soil. https://growingfruit.org/t/ponds-are-a-great-investment/7033 .It is pretty sloppy when it comes out of the pond as you can see here.
