Boys, toys and dynamite. My father told me when he was a teenager in Minnesota in the 30’s, they would take a farm tractor and dig a hole. Put a couple bags of fertilizer in the hole, and saturate it with kerosene. Cover it with about a foot of dirt, but leave a hole around the center and pour in some gasoline. Then throw in a flare and run. Presto! a new farm pond was created.
Well, that’s one way to do it for sure!! Who needs an earth mover when you can just blow stuff up?
