The construction on my pond was completed in May of 2003--- just two years ago. It filled up with the first major rain and then dried up within 3 months! It filled up again... and dried up. When it was only about 2 ft. deep I added 2050lbs of Bentonite. The pond was completely full last November and is down about 4 feet today. It seems to be dropping about 4 inches per week... but it is very dry in North Texas this spring. I can't say for sure whether the pond is just tightening up or if the Bentonite did the trick. It can't hurt anything but your pride and your pocket book to give it a try. It's still cheaper than pond liners. Pictures of the pond are available if you want to shoot me an e-mail. GS

Working hard so others don't have to.
