I've heard of guys pouring in a bag at a time and doing circles in a boat to mix it in.
Another guy told me he'd just slice a hole in the bag and throw it in as far as he could.
I have no personal experience with it, this is just what I've been told by guys who say they've sealed up leaking dugouts.

It fills to the brim each spring and drops to about 3’ by fall. I’ve thought of getting bentonite but I think I’d need a super B full to make a difference. I almost had a drilling rig consultant talked into dumping all of the surface mud from a couple of holes in my dugout but he correctly decided it wasn’t worth risking his job over.
What’s the issue is it full to 25’ and drops 3’ by fall? Just curious

I’d think it would be either an intermittent spring driven by snow melt and spring rains or a rising and falling water table. Or one hell of a large toilet flushing come fall.

That's right, it drops about 25' in two months. We shredded 100 bales of barley straw to make a layer several inches thick and then covered that with a few inches of clay. It's supposed to break down and plug the formation but didn't work in our case. I think the next step is to try a polymer like Soilfloc but that is a $10-15K gamble.
