Well if you were in this area I could load you up with all the
bentonite you could carry for free. I just got a heap of it for free
yesterday from a well drilling company as well as a free pond relining
with bentonite.........I have bentonite in powder form of 220 and 300
mesh size, in granular and also pellet form.......a form to cover
virtually all needs.......all in 50# bags. In all reality bentonite is
probably cheaper than dirt would cost. I can buy calcium bentonite
here (southern type) for my foundry use for under $6.00 a 100#
sack......but cacium does ot swell up like sodium bentonite does. ALL
well drillers use sodium bentonite for their slurry mix.

Put some color in your cheeks...garden naked!

It is a rip off. I don't care what they say about their painstaking efforts to
find the best bentonite. All commercially available bentonite in the U.S. comes
from Wyoming and Western South Dakota. These people want to sell you 2 lbs of
it for $7.00. You can buy a 100 lbs bag for about the same price, or maybe a
few dollars more at any drilling supply, well supply or pump equipment outlet.
It is like the difference between buying Bayer aspirin or a generic equivalent.
In other words, there is no real difference, except of course, the price.
