uppss, sorry marijana. I thought I sent it only to Richard...
I will try to translate the last messages:

>> Hi Richard,
do you think it's a good idea to combine bentonite use, even in low proportion, with swale building to hold water more time ?

>> Hi Israel,
you need a lot of bentonite to mix with earth to get a waterproof layer. Bentonite as a waterproof element is used between earth compated layers (there is a product named bentomat that is used between poliester layers and 30 cm of earth over it).

Hola Richard,

crees que es buena idea combinar el uso de la bentonita, aunque sea en menor proporción, con la construcción de swales para retener agua durante más tiempo?

un saludo.

Hola israel,
necesitaria mucho bentonita si lo mezclas con la tierra para impermeabilizar. Bentonita como impermeabilzante se use entre capas de tierra compactada. (se vende un producto, bentomat, una capa de bentomita entre capas de poliester, y 30 c. de tierra encima para compactar.

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.
