I've recently scooped out an old silted up pond in my garden which filled up and overflowed every winter but dried out in the summer. It's a fairly large triangle of about 20 yards each side. It takes four days to fill with a hose and then two days to drain. The clay base (of unknown...

Thanks to those kind helpers. Research has revealed the existence of Sodium Bentonite powder and "BentoMat" membrane, which is Bentonite sandwiched between a geosynthetic layer. Does anyone have any experience of these products? Haven't found a UK price yet but the stuff reads like a real...

I live in So. Cali. and my 2 sagos are turning yellow, is this normal or something going wrong with my palms? This is not normal at all. I'm no expert, although I've been growing Sagos for years, and never had a problem. I'd say your Sagos have serious chlorosis...they need some...
