Bentonite Clay Application Rates for pond\/lake bottoms To properly apply bentonite to seal a pond, the pond must be drained and the bentonite clay then incorporated into the soil of the pond bottom and sides. The application rate for bentonite ranges from 2 pounds to more than 5 pounds per square foot depending on the soil characteristics. For clayey and silty soils, 2 pounds per square foot MAY be sufficient. For sandy soils 4 pounds MAY be sufficient and for soil containing gravel and rock, in excess of 5 pounds will be required to obtain a seal. Once the bentonite is applied, the soil should be disk harrowed to mix the soil and bentonite and then compacted. Alternatively, a continuous blanket of bentonite can be applied to the soil and then carefully covered with clean soil or sand to prevent the clay from mobilizing into the water column.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 25.0 x 15.0 x 15.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 200045\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003emodel number:\u003c\/b\u003e 200045\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BeautyyBuddy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53637952373050,"sku":"B01HSFQR1K","price":184.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/9267\/2058\/files\/81sVZU5HE9L.jpg?v=1782138128","url":"https:\/\/beautyybuddy.com\/products\/natural-waterscapes-granular-sodium-bentonite-clay-for-pond-sealing-45-lbs","provider":"BeautyyBuddy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
