- You could try covering the upper portion of the liner with 3-4" flat river
- rocks. If the slopes of the pond are not very steep, you might be able to
- line the slopes and the bottom with the same kinds of rocks. I am not sure
- how advisable it may be, but you may want to try using clay or even cenment
- as a bonding agent. The resulting inner "liner" will not and needs not be
- water-tight, since the plastic below it will serve as the water barier. The
- rocks should be able to protect the plastic from the deer.
