Ok Ponds, I blew that. It should have been cracks. The bentonite that I have used comes in the consistency of flour. It's biggest redeeming feature, to me, is its ability to sift down into the small areas, get wet, and then expand. Normal clay doesn't do that.

Where are you getting those rain forecasts? I envy you. Ours say a chance of scattered showers Thursday. Yesterdays much ballyhooed rains left less than a trace.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
