Otherwise I need to make your 'stirred water 'card.
answer: It may hold the energy for a considerable time, you should experiment with it though, dowse it, and see how it goes, make a card anyway. 2. three of us are putting down some horns (of 500) this weekend and I'd like to include some clay, you have some different ideas on clay - any suggestions ? these are some options :: bentonite - its easy but I'd rather use local paddock reared clay :: I have a nice maroon clay from our subsoil layer - sticky and extremely dense, mostly magnesium it comes from about 6 to 18 inches deep in the profile. :: a yellowish sticky but highly dispersive, high sodium clay from our deep subsoil :: black pond muck - you talked about this stuff a while back - its a black silty clay that settles in the bottom of our farm water storage dams - powerful stuff - very nutrient rich - has some humic material included from organic wash in answer: I woud go with the maroon clay and the pond muck, stay away from high sodium. Do you have trouble with salts in this clime? I make a tree past type substance and put that through the horn process. 3. we will be doing this in a new pit - any suggestions to pre treat the pit for a better result - I'd thought to spray it out with stirred 500 before putting the horns in ? Line the bottom with good compost maybe? What else works? answer: Some bd compost finely screened is good but so is a bc bath to the pit and just good old soil. Thanks for any suggestions >>
