Step 2 2: Cover the bottom and sides of the hole with an EPMD pond liner and protective pad; take care not to puncture your EPMD pond liner. (Place the protective pad close to the dirt and lay the EPMD pond liner next to the protective pad.) How big is the pond liner and the protective pad will depend on the size of the hole.
