Water Crystals for Plants and MORE

Improves soil conditions - significantly improves water holding capacity. of sandy soil

increases infiltration rates of water through clay soils - Reduces Watering Frequency - by 50 - 75% in potted plants
by 15 - 40% on lawns , 20 - 40% on irrigated field crops.

significantly reduces water stress for all plants

Superior absorption rates - crystal absorbs 400 times its density in de-ionized water
1 lb. of crystals will absorb/hold 25-50 gallons of water in the soil

Reduces leaching fertilizers - crystals absorb, store and release soluble fertilizer and nutrients

decreasing losses to leaching of fertilizers and nutrients Increased germination/early growth Usable on most plants - great for trees and shrubs, especially when transplanting/transporting

good for transplanting annual, perennials, etc

good for hanging baskets, stops drying out (Premier Hanging Basket Mix)

use as a medium for cut flowers, instead of plain water; less refilling

Long Lasting - crystals last for a long time can still be 90% effective after years (in stable soil)

Low application rates - crystal application rates do not need to be large to be effective

Application rates:
6" pot = 1 tbsp. dry granules or (2 cups hydrated gel)
8" pot = 3 tbsp. dry granules or (6 cups hydrated gel)
10" pot = 4 tbsp. dry granules or (8 cups hydrated gel)

crystals should be mixed in lower half of pot because water tends to flow to the bottom of the pot
Vegetables
use 4-7 lbs. per 100 sq. ft
apply by hand, or with broadcast spreader, then turn under with spade or roto-tiller

The basic claim to fame of Hydrosource Water crystals when used in agriculture, for flower arrangement or in hydrogarments is the extended length of time it will hold onto stored water - this is a simple physics issue. Compared to the tiny particles of soil, Hydrosource has a much smaller relative surface area, and Hydrosource is capable of absorbing a massive amount of water in comparison to tiny soil particles. Soil Particles lose their stored water very quickly through evaporation - Hydrosource loses stored water very slowly by comparison, due to its relatively smaller surface area. No magic here, just basic physics.
Hydrosource water crystals can last 15-20 years in the soil

When you add water to Hydrosource you will notice obvious size differences for each fully hydrated grind:
- Standard grind (2-4 mm) makes gel chunks that range in size from the tip of your little finger - pea gravel size - up to as large as half the size of your entire thumb.
- Medium grind (1-2 mm) makes gel chunks that range in size from small chunks the size of the head of a pin up to pea gravel size, like the end of your little finger.

Which Size is BEST for your uses?

I am sure there are MANY MANY other uses but this should give you a good idea where to start.

MEDIUM 1-2 mm	STANDARD 2-4 mm
Landscape & gardens - Sandy Soil	Landscape & gardens - Heavy soil
Compost pile	Flower displays
HydroGarments like Cool Collars, Cooling head bands	Growing without Soil
Cooling Pet Beds	Floating Candles
Potted Plants	Cricket Gel
Spill Absorption	Smelly Jelly
Tree & Shrub Planting Fine Soil	Tree & Shrub Planting Heavy Soil
