I would have loved to find a ton of bentonite, but the closest source we
could think of was somewhere in Utah and there would have been the
inevitable transporation problem. Local sources just didn't appear to be
available.
What we probably would have done had we been able to find a =lot= of it
would be to backfill the trenches with it and then put a final layer of
soil over that.
Next time. . . . :)
