It becomes a water source that helps the plant get through dry periods between rain. 3) Woul definately buy again. But my garden is small and the polymer balls last a long time. It may be years before I need to buy more. I mixed it in with potting soil. The beads looked sooooo small so... I added some extra. Ok, a lot extra. First time it rained, my container overflowed. It was like the dirt was pushed up from the bottom of the planted. This was a 24" container filled to 4" below the rim. Now theres a big mound of dirt thats 6" over the top of the container and a lot of dirt overflowing the container. So... The beads asorb a LOT of water. I changed how I use them as follows: Put a tiny amount in a big jar, add water, wait a few hours. Put them in a collander to drain overnight. When transplanting, put these in a ring around the base of the plant. I put the balls in a 2" radius from the center of the plant about 6" deep. When the soil is "dry," the plant sits in a soil depression because the polymer balls shrink from losing water to keep the soil moist. Easy indication to water the plant. Great stuff. Review: Works great. - Swell up MUCH larger than the store bought ones. Very pleased. ## Features - πŸ’§ COMMERCIAL-GRADE HYDRATION: Elevate your gardening with Soil Vigor, a professional-quality potassium polyacrylate.

Non toxic. Some folks use them as a means to provide water to their lizards etc. Great stuff. **Q: Can I use on lawn ? How much we can apply for 1000 Sf?** A: If you look into the information given by the seller, it states that you can use it on lawns. I dont know how much of it should be placed, but my guess is that you would have to till it into the ground. **Q: Would this material be irritating to skin if used in a fabric tie and soaked in water ?** A: If you want to make these in order to sell them don't just wily-nily use whatever comes to mind that might hold water and keep you cool. The actually products that do that are safe--find out what kind of polymer they use. And if you just want them for yourself, why not buy the safe product that already exists? It's probably cheaper than anything you could make them with these crystals. I'd worry that the potassium in this product might be too alkaline and irritate the skin. Why risk it? **Q: Could this be used in place of stones for a bamboo plant?** A: YES, You can use Soil Vigor in place of stones for a bamboo plant. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use sparingly. *by D***. on January 19, 2024* 1) Holds lots of moisture. 2) Work as described.
