Heavier 'woody' compost would be fine so long as the plants were there to catch the loadings. First_Timer_Ray I know what you mean about the nutrients/stagnant water. My aim wouldn't be to have a pond - maybe some sort of semi-permeable liner that will help the water stay there longer but still enable it to slowly drain (over a period of a few days). I'll have to look into it further. One way would be to drain around the hollow underground and place the liner well above the aqueous land. Another would be to mound a non permeable rim and then use rocks and landscaping to bring it back into a hollow that the eye will see. Kuranga Nurseries do this well with their winter frog ponds. A deep hollow lined underground surrounded by wetland plants and rockeries separated by high pathways from the garden. No nutrient loads at all and lotsa frogs. It's possible but a soak well is usually much larger. Your 'soak well' only holds 424 litres when full. What is your soil type? Soak wells need sandy soils. 10 9017 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair Ditto 3M Claw, expensive but best thing I've used to date.
