[Pil-pc-oceania] Swale building

[Linda Shewan]

I have tried to source bentonite clay and come up blank - anyone know where I can get some from?

Geoff has run earthmoving courses through PRI. A friend of mine has done one
and said it was awesome.

Bentonite (a type of clay) or Gley (lawn clippings sort of sweated down to
make an impervious layer is extremely useful for sealing a dam.

I'd always use a "known" dam builder.

Some "ignoramous" recently cleared an area next to the road, including
mature trees, leaving only cyprus - which are a weed here!!!!! Councils have
alot to answer for.
