Water-Keep Garden Crystals - 50 lbs
Water-Keep Crystals are an environmentally safe, super absorbent polymer developed specifically for slow-release plant watering. Absorbing up to 400 times their volume in water, these polyacrylamide hydrogel granules release the captured water back to plant roots as needed. Helps reduce soil loss and improves water infiltration. Extends time between watering, reducing time and labor expense. Especially helpful for draught susceptible conditions, including recent transplants of trees and shrubs, hanging baskets and container gardening. Dry granules take up minimal space and store indefinitely. 40 times more water retentive than peat moss. An invaluable product for any busy gardener living in areas prone to draught, heat waves or dry spells. MEDIUM CRYSTALS are .8-2.0 mm in size - ideal for gardening. Bulk pricing for affordability – less than $4 per lb!
Other crystal sizes available upon request at the same price (please call or email to order). See below for details:
SMALL CRYSTALS - 0.2 - 0.8 mm
COARSE CRYSTALS – 2.0 – 4.0 mm

- Reduces plant watering frequency by up to 50% - thus saving water, time and labor
- Odorless soil conditioner that significantly reduces soil loss, aerates soil and improves infiltration
- Helps protect aquatic ecosystems by reducing water soluble fertilizer and nutrient leaching
- Get deeper root penetration with better access to water-soluble nutrients and fertilizers
- Increases germination rate and improves transplantation survival rates
- Easy to store, non-toxic, dry granules are easy to blend into DIY soil mixes
- 100% degradable over time into carbon dioxide, water and small amounts of ammonia
- Longer life, higher gel strength and better performance than sodium based polyacrylate
