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 big 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 or 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, 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.
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
Save on Water and
Fertilizer
WaterGelCrystals will reduce your irrigation needs and frequency in
as much as 50% as well as retain 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
make it
available to the plant.
Remember that 1 pound of WaterGelCrystals can absorb 40 gallons of
rain water or 31 gallons
of tap water.

Forestry
Effective reforestation programs depend on high survival rates of
trees and shrubs.
WaterGel Crystals'
polymer powders 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 powders reduces the frequency of watering and fertilization
of sod and landscape plants.
