(Soil Moist Plus): Water retention polymer and timed release fertilizer
Reduce the amount of water needed to maintain vigorous plants!
Soil Moist has been developed to reduce the amount of water needed to maintain vigorous plants and other green goods. When mixed in the soil, the crystals will soften and swell as water is added and absorbed. When the potting system dries, the polymer will release its water to the plant. Soil Moist acts as a water reservoir--even during periods of drought the stored water is released to the plant. The expansion and retraction of the polymer during the watering cycle helps soil aeration, which is important to all plants.
Note: Soil Moist must be incorporated into the soil at the root level of the plant/green good. Do not top dress or place on the surface.
Soil Moist stores over 200 times its weight in tap water,
releasing a steady supply of water as your plants need it.
Soil Moist offers the following benefits:
·
Reduces plant watering
·
Reduces evaporation of moisture from the soil
·
Time releases fertilizer and water
·
Encourages deep root penetration
·
Reduces soil compaction
·
Minimizes transplant shock
·
Lasts several seasons
·
Cost effective
·
Environmentally friendly
Soil Moist is a synthetic acrylic copolymer. The polymer is non-toxic and safe to use in all landscape applications. When added to landscape and planting applications, Soil Moist will continue to work for an extended period of time.
Shelf life for the polymer is indefinite (keep in a dry place).
Note and Caution: These polymer products are non-toxic and environmentally friendly and a MSDS is available. Since our products are not food products, we recommend to keep out of reach of children or have adult supervision should children be in contact with the polymer. The polymer should not be put down any drains. If the product should go down a drain, use straight table salt or rock salt and hot water to flush.

The spike is a safe non-toxic polyacrylamide that can be used
in several horticultural applications.
When placed in the soil, the spike will soften and swell as
water is added and absorbed. When the soil dries, the
spike will release the water to the plant.
The spike is made from polyacrylamide and crosslinked
with bisacrylamide. The spike will store over 40 times its
weight in tap water, releasing a steady supply of water as
your plants need it. It can reduce plant waterings by 50%.
The bisacrylamide crosslinker in the polymer makes it
much stronger than standard polymers in the horticultural
market. The product will not break down with high
concentrations of salt from water, soil or from any
fertilizer. The initial time to absorb water is slow. After the
initial absorption, the polymer will re-absorb water much
faster.
Soil Moist Plus Spikes with fertilizer contain a balanced
120 day timed release fertilizer. The Nitrogen,
Phosphorous and Potassium have been polymer coated
to provide a 5% coated slow release. The Spike will feed
plants up to 120 days and continue to work for several
seasons reducing waterings. After three to four months
use your favorite fertilizer.
The spike can be molded with custom blended fertilizers
and chemicals. The polymer gives a timed diffusion rate
release on chemicals and fertilizers molded within the
polymer. Available in custom shapes and sizes. Minimum
quantities apply, contact factory for more information.
The spike is ideal for containers that need a post
application of polymers. The spike eliminates the
requirement to poke holes in the soil and measure small
amounts of polymer.

Place the proper amount of spikes beneath the surface
of the soil as close to the roots as possible. Use a pencil
or similar object. Cover the holes and water the plant on
a normal basis for the first seven to twelve days for the
polymer to fully absorb water. Watering reductions and
rates can then be established.
Please note:
Some varieties of water-loving plants may
require one to two more spikes per container size.
