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 evaporation of moisture from the soil
Time releases fertilizer and water
Encourages deep root penetration
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.

Two methods available: sprinkle a small amount (1/2 tsp.) of Soil Moist Plus 7-7-7 in the plant hole, plant and cover with soil or apply one and one half pounds per 100 square feet of ground area. Spread the polymer and work into the soil at a depth of three to four inches.
Turf/Sodding - Apply at a rate of nine pounds per 1000 square feet or 400 pounds per acre if worked into the soil at five to six inches. Use six to eight pounds per 1000 square feet (260 to 350 pounds per acre) if worked into the soil at three to four inches. Broadcast the polymer with a spreader or drop seeder for even disbursement. Work into the soil, spread seed or lay sod, roll and soak thoroughly. If applying grass seed, you may want to use our Soil Moist Seed Coat.
Greenhouse - To use as a soil amendment, mix three pounds of Soil Moist Plus 7-7-7 per cubic yard of soil. Make sure the polymer is thoroughly mixed for even disbursement. Best results in mixing are achieved when the polymer is incorporated into the soil in the dry crystal form.
Based on the rate of three pounds of Soil Moist Plus 7-7-7 per cubic yard of soil, the following information can be used as a general guideline. (Please note: Actual pot dimensions may vary from one manufacturer to another and soil volumes will vary depending upon the type of soil used.)
Amount of Soil Moist Plus 7-7-7 per individual
Amount Treated per Container Size
Above estimated coverage does not take into consideration the increase in soil volume when water is absorbed in a potting soil mixture containing Soil Moist Plus 7-7-7. Volume will increase ten to fifteen percent.
100 square feet of bench area, with a depth of six inches of soil is equal to 50 cubic feet of soil.
Transplanting - Mix three ounces of Soil Moist Plus 7-7-7 per one foot of rootball. Mix a majority of the polymer around the planting hole, mix balance with backfill. Do not amend the top two inches with polymer. Water liberally. Rate should be increased to four ounces per one foot of rootball in sandy soils.
