Andrew,
what kind of pond have you applied the bentonite to? A pond that mantains a constant water level all year? Or a pond used to irrigate in summer? Is there any problem if the bentonite get dry?

Isreal,
I have used bentonite successfully to seal ponds amongst other things. NB Sodium Bentonite swells better than calcium bentonite.

Hi,
i have recently read that bentonite can be used to seal a surface if
the soil is not a pure clay soil. I'm thinking to combine bentonite use
with a macrocatchemnt or a swale to retain water in spring and summer as
much as possible. Anyone have experience with bentonite? Could it be
used to seal a pond too?
all the best,
israel.
