That doesn't sound good. How did you apply it? How many pounds per square foot?
I hand dug a small (10 sq. ft.) test hole. It dropped about an inch a day and I assumed that was evaporation and maybe a little because it wasn't compacted any more than me walking on it.
I have a sandy loam soil and was planning to use 4 or 5 pounds per sq. ft. tilled in, compacted and covered with about a foot of backfill, compacted.
Does anyone else have testimonials either good or bad about bentonite?
