Trees and Shrubs

   Use the 42K (2K-4K microns) (LARGE) dry polymer crystals.  
   For 1 gallon pot size use 1/4 cup of crystals, 3 gallon pot size use 1/2 cup of crystals, and for a 15
   gallon size use 1-1/2  cup of crystals.

  Dig a hole at least three times the size of the container and incorporate polymer crystals throughout
  the area. 
  After planting, create a dam around the tree, if on a slope leave the top side open to collect water.
  This will provide a water reservoir for easy absorption by the crystals.

LAWNS

  Use the 41K (1K-3K microns) (MEDIUM) dry polymer crystals.
  For application before adding sod, use 3-4 pounds per 1,000 square feet, tilled 1-2 inches deep or
  5 pounds tilled 4-6 inches deep.   Application can be either by hand or a lawn spreader.  

  Never use more than 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet, tilled only one inch as prolonged sponginess
  may occur.

  After the first rain hydrated polymer may appear and the sod may seem loose, however the exposed
  polymer will dissolve and after the roots grow from the sod the looseness will dissipate.
 

Vegetables and Beds

  Use the 41K (1K-3K microns) (MEDIUM) dry polymer crystals.
  Use 4 pounds of the dry polymer crystals per 100 square feet at a 4-6 inches of depth cultivation.
  Use less for drier plants and more for moisture loving plants.
  After planting, a good coat of mulch will dress up the bed and cover any loose polymer crystal gel, thus giving   a finished look and
  protecting the polymer crystal gel from premature degradation by sunlight.
 

6 teaspoons of crystals = 1 ounce of dry Polymer Crystals

1/4 cup of crystals  = 2 oz. of dry Polymer Crystals

1 teaspoon (medium or large) crystals will absorb approximately 1 cup water

1 ounce of dry crystals will make a full gallon of WET Gel Crystals

   Agriculture/Lawn & Garden

   41K (1K-3K microns) (MEDIUM) dry polymer crystals is recommended for most horticultural applications.

  Each pound of polymer is about 2 1/4 cups or 110 teaspoons.

  Beneficial to the Environment
  With an essentially neutral pH, WaterGelCrystals super absorbent polymers will break down into
  nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water with no residual toxicity.

  Save on Water and Fertilizer
  WaterGelCrystals will reduce your irrigation needs and frequency in as much as 50%, as well as
  retaining your applied fertilizers and nutrients for plant use.

  How much water does it store and release?
  Research shows that WaterGelCrystals super absorbent polymers can release up to 95% of the water
  absorbed and makes it available to the plant.   Remember that 1 pound of WaterGelCrystals can
  absorb 40 gallons of rain water or 31 gallons of tap water.

  Pots/Containerized

  Mix 41K (1K-3K microns) (MEDIUM) dry polymer crystals thoroughly into media at the following rates:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Forestry
  Effective reforestation programs depend on high survival rates of trees and shrubs.
  WaterGel Crystals' polymer powder reduces the effects of transplant shock and temporary
  drought on new trees and shrubs, and helps to control leaching and water run-off.

  Bulk Soil
  Use 41K (1K-3K microns) (MEDIUM) dry polymer crystals.  
  Mix thoroughly into media at a rate of 4 tsp. per cubic foot.

  Landscape & Turf
  Our polymer is especially effective in reducing the stresses on transplanting of plants and grasses. 
  WaterGel Crystals' polymer powder reduces the frequency of watering and fertilization of sod and
  landscape plants.
