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

    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 MEDIUM blend, (AgM) dry polymer granules (1K-3K microns).
    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, tilling only one inch as prolonged sponginess may occur.
    After the first rain hydrated gel 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 MEDIUM blend, (AgM) dry polymer granules (1K-3K microns).
    Use 4 pounds of dry polymer granules 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 granules gel, thus giving a finished look and protecting the polymer crystal gel from premature
    degradation by sunlight.
