A couple of guys have told me that you can use drilling mud to stop pond leaks. This seems a bit far-fetched to me, but it would sure be cheaper than some other methods. Anyone ever tried this?

Use drilling fluids too seal a leak in a fish pond. Not no but HECK no. They are pulling your leg.

We have a story in Pond Boss, Nov-Dec 2004 about sodium bentonite. It talks of practical ways to apply it, and compares costs. Bentonite is often called drilling mud. Don't confuse with drilling fluids. Two different things. If you need a copy of Nov-Dec, call Kathy at the office and tell her you wish to buy that back copy. 800.687.6075

Bob,I'm an idiot. I didn't know that bentonite and drilling mud were synonymous. I learn something new every time I look at this great site. By the way, the article is in the Jan./Feb. issue. I just read it. Most informative and helpful. Thanks so much for the tip.
