How much time is needed to dry out 18 inches of muck at the bottom of a pond? I'm really not sure, but it's forever and we don't have time to wait and find out exactly how long forever is. To speed up an extremely slow drying process, the crew at Earth Sculptures Inc have been churning up the mud, blending in dry soil, and using hydrated lime to firm things up.
Here's a few photos from this dirty job. Hydrated lime is not great for your skin or fun to breathe, hence the Tyvek suits, gloves, and particle dust masks.
