Stores over 200 times its weight in water! Soil Moist is a super absorbent "agro-polymer" that traps water that would normally percolate by root zones. As the soil dries, the stored water is released back to plant roots. Ideal for containers, baskets, vegetable gardens, turf and trees. Safe to use on all plants.
Unique Features:
• Reduces plant watering by 50%
• Time releases fertilizer and water
• Encourages deep root penetration
• Reduces compaction
• Minimizes transplant shock
• Lasts several seasons
• Environmentally friendly
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Potting: Using the chart (below), premix the appropriate amount with potting soil. Sprinkle Soil Moist evenly throughout the root zone. Do NOT place in top 2-inch of soil. After planting, water liberally to allow granules to absorb maximum amount of water.
Existing Pots: Gently make holes in the soil using a pencil or similar object -- deep enough to get near plant roots -- but away from the center to avoid root damage. Using the chart, add the appropriate amount. Place equal amounts in the holes. Cover with soil and water liberally.
