Marty, Is your soil sandy clay or sandy loam??
I’m not sure how to identify the soil . It seems like a very fine red sand. When I did a bucket test(With perforated bottom) it held water for 2 days then found a hole and washed out. When I put a small amount of the bottom soil in my hand and get it wet I can make a ball, roll it back and forth and form a “worm”. When it dries it becomes hardened but breaks easily. I have the soil conservationist for our county coming to look at it in a few days, but not sure if they do soil analysis or not .I know it’s important in determining the application rate for the bentonite. I think 4 lbs per sq foot might work but really am not sure how much is needed.
