Miracle Gro Moisture Control Pots & Baskets (225g Pouch) - Storing Gel Crystals that Release Water When Plants Need it Most!

Product Information

Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. It contains water-storing crystals that absorb and release water when plants need it, reducing the need for watering. I am new using this product and used way more than I needed to that is the only thing I could suggest that use a little of product mix it with soil and when you water or it rains you will know if you are using too much you will see too much gel. The truth is that compost cooks just fine with the microbes that enter the pile on the vegetative material and its roots (assuming you’ve used a mix of green and brown materials).

Like a watering safety net, Miracle-Gro® Water Storing Crystals are the perfect back-up plan, helping make sure you don't under- or over-water your plants. Something we noticed with our science fair project was that certain substances don't absorb into the beads as well.That would be in tree, shrub and house-foundation beds, where people think they can lay fabrics over the soil, top with an inch or two of mulch, and kiss their weed problems goodbye forever.

This is the same stuff that's in orbeez/water beads that are marketed as kids toys, and also the same stuff that's in diapers.By putting the ferts in silica gel, you would be able to create an environment high in whatever you add while retaining oxygen and hopefully not too wet. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. These are granular products, usually containing nitrogen and live bacteria and enzymes, that are added to a compost pile to get it cooking. The idea is to fertilize your trees and shrubs by pounding the spikes into the ground around the root system. Linda Chalker-Scott, another horticulture professor and author of “ The Informed Gardener” (University of Washington Press, 2008), also doesn’t recommend antitranspirants and says better ideas are to keep the soil damp until it freezes and maintain a layer of insulating mulch over the ground.
