[TowerTalk] Making a better Ground

[Scott MacKenzie]

Fuller's Earth is different than bentonite.  Bentonite is a type of clay.
Fuller's earth is also known I think as diatomaceous earth

Sodium Bentonite, yes that's the stuff thank you very much for the reply
Pat.  I kind of remembered that it was like Fuller's Earth or maybe is
Fuller's Earth.

 

Thanks again,

Bentonite...  It's a type of clay.  Not sure where to get it.

I sort of made my own stuff using gypsum and magnesium sulphate, both of
which were available in large bags at my local nursery...

stop water from penetrating to outside walls that are underground.
