    I'm considering putting a pond on my farm. I have an area that is about 0.4 acre, round in shape. I'd like to plant a band of clover around a pond that is roughly 80 feet in diameter. How deep should I make it? Wouldn't mind having some fish in it, but that's not a must. Would I have to aerate it?

    Cedar Apple Rust

    Some of my apples are showing signs of cedar apple rust. There are some small cedars within about 30 yards of the apple trees.
