Water Gel
1) Garden Crystals will Improve
soil conditions
Crystals will significantly improve water holding capacity of sandy soil...by as much as 400%!!! They also increase infiltration rates of water through clay soils as they constantly expand and contract when absorbing and releasing water. This not only keeps your clay soil looser but also makes growing plants in this hard to handle soil a pleasure.
2) Garden Gel Reduces
the Need for Frequent Watering
When properly applied, Water
gel Crystals can reduce the need to water by 50 - 70% in
potted plants, 15 - 40% in lawns and golf
courses, and in the 20 - 40% range for most
irrigated field crops. The hydrated crystals
will reduce the stress/dry periods in all
plants by increasing the availability of reserve
water stored for them in the crystals. The
water stored in the crystals is 96 - 99% available
to plants.
3) Garden Gel has Superior Absorption
Rates
Crystals absorb approx.400 times their density in de-ionized water and in the 150-350 range in more salty soils. This means, practically, that one pound of crystals will absorb and hold from 15 to 40 gallons of water in the soil.
4) Water Gel Reduces the Loss of Fertilizers
and Nutrients
Crystals absorb, store and release soluble fertilizer and nutrients almost as readily as it handles water. This means a decrease in losses due to leaching which translates to better use of your fertilizer (especially nitrogen) and added nutrients.
5) Garden Gel Promotes Germination
and Early Growth
When Water
gel Crystals are placed in the
seed
row,
emergence is increased for most plants, as
well as early growth and survival of seedlings
being improved.
6) Water Gel Works Great for Trees
and Shrubs.
Powdered Crystals make an excellent, inexpensive bare-root dip that promotes survival in transport and the transplanting of tree and shrub seedlings, and larger crystals provide extra, long-term water storage for the tree and shrub root systems when used for planting.
7) Garden Crystals Last a Long
Time
Crystals have superior longevity. They have been found to be more than 95% effective after five years in stable soil. Therefore the conclusion that the life span of the crystals is much longer can be made.
8) Garden Crystals are of the Highest
Quality
We believe our Crystals are the finest all-around water-absorbing polymer in the world. With the qualities they impart in the cultivation of both outdoor and indoor plants they can increase plant health as well as yield.
9) Water Gel Crystals are Economical
Due to the previous high cost of water gel
crystal
polymer in the United States, its use has
been primarily limited to nursery and houseplant
applications. Now, with lowered overhead as
well as our large scale manufacture process,
we are making it available for most applications.
This includes of course larger scale uses
such as landscaping and even farming.
10)Garden Crystals Increase the
growth Rates of Plants
Studies done by researchers show that using
Water
Gel Crystals in an agricultural application
appear to raise yields from 8% to 22% higher
than normal.
Using Watering Garden Gel Successfully
Water Gel Crystal's long life span, proven
high performance, and low cost combine to
make it practical and profitable. Our Crystals
have literally hundreds of agricultural, landscaping,
re-vegetation, turf, gardening and houseplant
applications. But always remember- more
Crystals are not necessarily better, and
correct applications in the right places
are EXTREMELY important to achieve maximum
performance. WaterSmart Crystals or water
gel are
most
effective when the correct amounts are worked
uniformly into the soil areas where the
plant's feeder roots normally grow.
