Come on Derek, get wise.they only use sodium bentonite if the soil
does not have sufficient palsticity to it from clay content. 9 out of
10 ponds probably do not have one bit of bentonite clay in them
period. A base layer of 6 to 10 inches of good clay is more
thansufficient and very cheap and easy to work into place and you get
a leak freepond if its done right......no unsightly wrinkle leak prone
liner needed. Of course if its on ly a small mudd pubble then a liner
is fine., I seemto think but can not say with certainty these folks
want a real pond larger than the typical back yard koi pond, somewhere
from 1/4 acre or larger.maybe not.......but possibly. Rubber, PVC HDPE
Liners just plain suck when a bentonite lined pod can be had.

Ain;t no way permalon or HDPE is gonna be cheaper than a good
bentonite liner, plus the ability to find and repair any places that
may leak or get broken thorugh, andnot need to drain thepond down to
fix a leaking liner.........Liners are a pityfull get buy that only
makes a pond possible for fish types that think they need a
pond.......Its far from being the ideal media to construct apond with.

Is there some material a person can use to stop "seeping"?
Typically, earth ponds use bentonite clay to line them. HDPE plastic (e.g.,
Permalon) _may_ be cost effective.
