A Waterwise Garden
#4. Water crystals are made from granular, super absorbent polymer. Sometimes referred to as hydrogels or polymer crystals, these small granules absorb and store water - up to 400 times its original density. When tilled into the soil, water crystals will absorb and retain excess water for extended periods. The extent of time depends on ambient temperature, humidity and the thirst of the plant(s). In all cases, water crystals increase the availability of water to plants and conserve water whilst being environmentally safe.
Fact: Watyer crystals reduce watering frequency - by 50 - 75% in potted plants, by 15 - 40% on lawns and 20 - 40% in veggie patches.
