In this video, I'm trying to plug the gopher holes that cause a lot of flooding in my backyard with Bentonite clay. How does that work? Let's find out!

Bentonite clay is known for its ability to absorb water and expand, forming a tight, waterproof seal. However, it typically does not harden into a solid, permanent state. Instead, it remains pliable and can rehydrate if exposed to water again. If more water is added to the bentonite, it could potentially rehydrate and lose some of its sealing properties. The effectiveness of bentonite in preventing water flow depends on maintaining its hydrated state and the surrounding conditions. For long-term or more permanent solutions you may want to use other materials like concrete or specialized sealants may be more appropriate, as they can provide a solid, durable barrier. Bentonite is commonly used in applications where a flexible and temporary seal is sufficient, such as in drilling operations or temporary water barriers.

There were significant floods in Sacramento, California during the 19th century, particularly in the 1860s. The floods in the 1860s, known as the Great Flood of 1862, were particularly devastating and caused widespread flooding throughout California's Central Valley, including Sacramento. The flooding was so severe that it turned the Sacramento Valley into an inland sea and forced many residents to use boats to navigate through the streets of Sacramento. This event remains one of the most significant floods in California's history.

The Carrington Event, one of the most significant solar storms in recorded history, occurred in 1859. Named after the British astronomer Richard Carrington, who observed and recorded the event, the Carrington Event was a massive solar flare that produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) that hit Earth's magnetosphere and caused widespread disruptions to telegraph systems. While there is no direct evidence linking the Carrington Event to the floods in California in the 1860s, it's worth noting that intense solar activity can have various effects on Earth's environment, including fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field and potential impacts on the climate. Energy in = energy out. I'm a firm believer in coincidences while the rest of the world holds their breath for peer reviews and official publications Coincidently, on that topic, the earth just took a glancing blow from a CME last week.

And if you wonder how to get bentonite clay. Cheap kitty litter is usually made from it. (Just have a look at the ingredients first :-)

What happens when it dries out again though? Does it shrink?

Almost looks like cement before it hardens.

People eat it I think. In small quantity obviously..... I cannot remember what the benefit is .... could be used like activated charcoal or carbon

I know why, but it has been decades since I knew it was a thing. They eat it to feel full so it quinces their hunger, and they lose weight.@@robbyv.526

It is also used as the base component for specialized industrial greases used in extreme high heat applications. It will not melt and drip out of bearings like normal grease does.
