Hi everyone I have a question: On the messysuplies website there is stated you can't use bentonite clay with a septic tank has anyone tried it with a septic tank or has got any tips to use the clay and dispose of it another way?

I dug some into my flower beds once
I mostly just heavily water it down and remix so it's super runny and then flush it, a massively time consuming process when you have a giant pool full of it but it works well. I don't have a septic tank but if messysupplies say it's ok then I'm sure they wouldn't risk saying that if it would cause problems

I am sorry it was supposed to say can't use with a septic tank but thanks for the tips on the watering down and the use for the flowers
It's literally pulverized rock, made mostly of aluminum silicates, and other inorganic metals and compounds. It will not degrade at all, so don't send it to a septic system.
The dirt/soil pretty much anywhere on earth has some amount of clay in it, so I second the proposal of dumping it in the nearest flower bed or yard.

Okay and what if I have about 200liters of the stuff would it still be good to dump in the nearest flower bed?

Well surely we don't have to explain to you that it better be a pretty big flower bed.

No you definitely don't have to but just maybe someone else had another idea
Just use some common sense here. Perhaps temporarily store most of it in plastic bins, and every week or so you could dilute some of it with water in a garden area. Of course you wouldn't try doing it all at once with that amount. A small amount could also go out with the trash each week. People are doing it all the time with cat litter.
I have a septic tank and use bentonite to plug up the leaks in the dam of my pond. If it plugs leaks in a pond, it will destroy your septic system. That is the main reason why I do not do as many messy vids as I want to. Being self sufficient has it's drawbacks!

Richard Trouso said: Keep it in containers if you've got the space. It doesn't really ever go off unless you contaminated it with other things like food.
That's what I was thinking. But wouldn't the oils and sweat on your skin or cum contaminate it over time?

Well I would think so but on a large amount it wouldn't be that bad
