Sorry for the confusion, guys. I think Dave and I are talking about the same thing.
We can buy betonite in sacks if we must, but we were hoping to use the drilling mud on-site after the well is drilled. Am I using the wrong term?
That is why I wanted to employ the Pond Boss brain trust. There seems to be some who think using drilling mud is feasible if it is relatively clean, while others think it is not worth the risk. Any more opinions or experience on that?
David, if you are going to reuse the drilling mud from your own well for your forage ponds, you ought to be able to monitor and influence what all the drillers put into it so that it is safe for pond use.
I guess the exception would be if they hit something nasty underground while drilling.
