Desperate Measures to SAVE THE FARM POND!
What happens here
After allowing the pond dam to dry for some time, the presenter introduces bentonite clay, specifically 'Enviroplug Medium,' as a sealing agent. He demonstrates bentonite's swelling properties by dropping a few chips into a glass of water, showing how it expands to create a thick, slimy clay-like substance. This material is intended to swell and fill any remaining voids or leaks around the pipe.
Goal: Understand bentonite's properties and prepare for its application.
