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.

Tools and materials

  • Glass — Demonstrating bentonite's swelling properties
  • Bentonite Clay — Sealing the pond dam
  • Water N/A — To activate bentonite's swelling property
