Bentonite blankets
In researching methods for lining a garden pond, I ran across
references to the use of Bentonite (specifically bentonite blankets- bentonite fixed between two layers of geotextile) to line the pond. The only source of bentonite blankets I have been able to find is a product called MiraClay which is marketed for use under concrete foundations. From the tech specs, itr sounds identical to what I am looking for. However calls to both the manufacturer and local distributor met with skepticism. Neither had ever heard of such a thing. Anybody have any knowedge of bentonite blankets? Specifically MiraClay. Thanks for your help. Dale |

Bentonite blankets
The American Horticultural Society Complete Guide to Water Gardening
by Peter Robison (1997) includes section on using clay for lining and specifically gives instructions for using bentonite blankets, but alas no brands or sources. The source I found sells them for waterproofing foundations. Dale On 17 May 2003 14:51:22 GMT, ESPMER (K30a) wrote: Dale wrote Anybody have any knowedge of bentonite blankets?

Bentonite blankets
I have heard of the use of the bentonite, geotextile as a landfill liner.
Using webferret, http://www.cetco.com/groups/lining_main.asp gives the names of two additional liners. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "dtl" wrote in message ...
