[permaculture-oceania] bentonite

[irene rosemary]

Hi Penny.
Thanks for the reply.No bentonite is a natural product,part of its use is for sealing drilling wells.Part of its use is as a health product,ie,fullers earth.We are interested in your unused rubber liner.If it measures 12metres by 12 metres.If so would you be interested in selling it?If you would be so kind as to let us know.Once again many thanks.
regards
Rose & James

  Is bentonite that rubberised fabric?  I have an unused 12x12 one in my garage.
  There is a formula for working out pond liners, but I have forgotten it; I took a load of magaznes to the op shop on Friday - including the one with the pond formula in it!  However, the circumference of a circle is twice the diameter.  If your maths are as weak as mine, then dig the hole and measure it like a chair cover!
