You might try mixing cement with the existing sand to form a dry mixture and then pack it down like we use for road beds in some areas. It would take a lot of cement but would be cheaper than concrete. If you have a tiller, you could mix the cement and sand with that. Mix ratio would be something like 100 to 200 pounds of cement per cubic yard of sand. It might still be slightly porous but should set up similar to cement grout.
I really like the idea Gary... Have you tried it to make a pond, or is it just theory?
If anybody else has tried this (or similar), please let me know how you got on.... :thumbsup:
Also please can someone explain what Bentonite is??? I've never heard of it before - I live a sheltered life!!!
