  Compliments. I usually never comment on YouTube videos, but your video was so useful that I just have to thank you. Finally I know how to go about my pond project that has been lingering in my head for long time. Very interesting to see the large quantities of bentonite of several lbs per square foot that are required - definitively much more that most of the YouTubers who just sprinkle some bentonite across their ponds ... without prior analysis and little control afterwards.

  WOW, very, very informative video. I have used bentonite on my ponds and it does work, but here in North Texas we are not going through a drought, which is a blessing. GREAT VIDEO, yes, you guys will have a great pond no doubt.

  This is great. I’m in the NW Atlanta burbs and have a very old 1/10 acre detention pond that has filled with leaf fall and has trees growing in it. This has really encouraged me to move forward to dig it out and seal it. Thank you

  I am a believer in trucking in red clay to line the pond.

  Just find some good old-fashioned clay habit truck in and read line it with good play

  I&apos;ve been watching you guys for a while. And I like your channel. My advice to you is bite the bullet and bringing red clay &nbsp;and line the whole bottom of the pond and the edges and get it over with.
