SW Saskatchewan | And swells tremendously when wet, shrinks as much when dry.
Common in Canadian Solonetzic soils, tends to hold sodium ions in the soil, needs a lot of Ca to allow leaching. Deep rip here to bring some gypsum to the surface-here the Ca layer is below 18".
We apply it to sandy soils, needs conventional till, see no big advantage or disadvantage from the bentonite but a lot of the drilling mud is rich in Phosphate which DOES make a difference.
In my opinion keep it off clay or silt soil.
