I deepened and enlarged a pond on my property. Problem is vegetation is taking its sweet time covering up the banks, and erosion is taking place. Thus, i'm planning on either sodding, hydromulching, or seeding this spring with bermuda. When i go forward with any of these options, i will need temporary irrigation until the bermuda gets established.
I have access to 110v at the pond. Looking for help from tff irrigation specialists for what kind of pump and misc parts are needed to pull water from the pond to water the bermuda.
Would be nice if pump setup could be reused down the road for possible yard sprinklers too.

Might toss out some winter rye seed to help out. Its bound to warm up again prior to the annual Stock Show ice storm.

Get a good dirty water sump pump from Northern tool. Place it the pond inside a 5 gallon bucket drilled full of holes and attach it to a spinkler set up. (No clogs)
I do this to the back 1/2 of the yard with the creek out back.
Electricity is cheaper than water nowadays.
