Out here in California, bentonite is used in a slurry form and sprayed on the walls of bare dirt to form ponds. When the stuff dries it is fairly waterproof and keeps the water from sinking into the soil. I can only imagine how this would perform in a bonsai pot in which we try to encourage free draining.
