Product description
Water Gathering Polymer Crystals – Made in USA
How to get best results!
Before Use: Determine how much to use based on what you want the water gathering crystals to do. The most common application is to extend the time between watering.
For Best Results: Understand the chemistry of your soil and water and their effect on water gathering crystals before installation. Read all product instructions before use.
In general our application rates will reduce watering by as much as 75% and extend watering intervals as much as 400%*. Adjust the application rates to compensate.
*Note: You can significantly damage and reduce the water holding capacity by 50% or more if not used correctly. However, the condition of your soil, the water quality, the type of plants, and how much wind and heat to which your plants are exposed will affect performance.
Great for Landscape Plants, Shrubs, and Trees!
New Plantings: Make a planting hole 2–3 times the diameter of root ball. Premix one part partially hydrated crystals to two parts soil and use to fill around the root ball, which equals 5.25 pounds/cubic yard. To prevent the plant from sinking in the hole, use only compacted plain soil under the root ball.
Dry Land Plantings: When hydration is not possible, accurately premix dry crystals with soil at the rate of 2.25–3.5 oz/cubic foot (2–3 teaspoons/gallon) and use to fill around the root ball. Use compacted plain soil under the root ball. Leave room for dry crystals to expand with water, and do not compact the soil. If available, water the plant slowly to hydrate the crystals applied. Each ounce of crystals requires approximately one gallon of water.
Existing Plantings: Make holes around the drip line of plant with a 5/8″ dowel sharpened on one end. Put partially hydrated crystals in a grout bag and use it to fill the holes. Application rates and spacing depend on plant size.
Helps create a better enviornment for healthier, faster growing plants!
Flower Beds and Gardens: Apply dry crystals with a broadcast seed spreader at a rate of 7–15 pounds per 100 square feet, and then mix to a depth of 6–8 inches. Do not overlap the spreader passes. Too much hydrated crystals in the overlaps will cause ridges.
Soil Improvement: Water Gathering Crystals have improved yields and plant health at agricultural application rates as low as 10–25 pounds per acre. Even small amounts can help control erosion, hold nutrients close to plant roots, and change the structure of soils. This reduces nutrient loss, improves movement of water in the soil, and improves aeration. The result is a better environment for plant health.
Order is for 10 Pounds Total (2 x 5 lb Bags) | Crystals absorb up to 400 times its weight in water
High Quality CLP Polymer: Has been shown to last up to 20 years, that about 5 times longer than most compariable products.
Extremely Durable: Can withstand hundreds of freezing and thawing cycles, can withstand the effects of sunlight, and one of the most durable super-absorbent in the marketplace, this means it is not easily destroyed.
Benefits: Provides a reservoir of water and nutrients for plants, which has shown higher yields of superior quality produce and flowers, larger and faster maturing plants, can use less water, saving time and labor.
Applications: Can be mixed with soil for use with landscape plants, shrubs, trees, flower beds, gardens, lawns, soil improvement, revegetation projects and enables reliable dryland agriculture anywhere
