Let's Build a Pond 🐳 | Mini Excavator Philippines | Ep. 17 | TORINO

Join me on a thrilling adventure as I tackle one of my latest projects: building a pond on my property using my trusty mini excavator!
In this episode, I'll show you how I chose the perfect spot at the lower part of the land, where natural grades meet to form an ideal watershed. Watch as I break up tough soil with a ripper attachment and then move massive amounts of dirt with a large bucket, all while my nephew helps out on the skid steer.
This DIY pond build is not just about hard work - it's also about preparing for sustainable benefits like stocking the pond with Tilapia and other freshwater fish.
