Build a natural pond in country living without liner by sealing it with bentonite clay. You can also use bentonite clay to fix leaky ponds. The clay works very well.
I have another video in which we used 3 tons of bentonite clay to hand seal our big pond -- • DIY Pond in Country Li...
In this video, we share from start to finish building a natural pond in two days and sealing an old leaky pond that dried up every summer in our country living here. And of course, using bentonite clay is also a great way to fix leaky ponds. What we like about it is that it looks so natural without using liners.
A pond can add a great feature in country living, not just for looks. A healthy pond can attract a ray of beautiful wild life. After looking at dried-up ponds every summer for over a decade, it feels incredible to see water flowing in the summer heat. This water feature adds so much beauty to our country living here.
With a total of 3 ponds and using all-natural bentonite clay, we successfully sealed them without a rubber liner. It looks natural and works instantly. We will observe how the clay holds up over time. Meanwhile, I hope my videos will help those who want to create or fix leaky ponds with natural solutions.
