water gel crystals

REMEMBER: All application rates will vary depending on type of soil, type of plants as well as the region that you live in.
*Clay Soils require less WaterSmart Crystals
*Sandy soils require more.
*Dry/arid regions require less WaterSmart Crystals.
*Wet/cool regions require less.

* When applying your WaterSmart Crystals dry, do not use more than necessary - more isn't always better.
* WaterSmart Crystals need to be worked into the soil to provide equal distribution.
* WaterSmart Crystals left above ground will breakdown faster due to sunlight. Ensure crystals are buried for good long term use.

For 1 gal root size container- use 1/4 cup, 3 gal - use 1/2 cup, 5 gal - use 3/4 cup, 15 gal - use 1 1/2 cup. Dig a hole at least three times the size of the container and dig in your crystals, thoroughly mixing them with the soil that will surround the plant. After planting, dig a small divot around the tree to collect water. If the tree is on a slope leave an area on the top side open as a reservoir for the water to seep into the ground to be absorbed by the crystals. (1/4 cup = 2 oz. crystals)

VEGETABLES and FLOWER BEDS
Use 1-3 pounds of crystals per 100 square feet at 4-6" depth cultivation. Use less in areas of plants that like drier conditions and more in areas of moisture loving plants. After planting, a good coat of mulch will dress up the bed and cover any loose crystals. This gives the bed a finished look, protects the crystals from the sunlight as well as cuts down on weeds.

I hope this is of some help
