What is Hydretain® ES Plus?
Hydretain® ES Plus is a patented, fully organic and biodegradable blend of liquid humectant and hygroscopic compounds that attract and hold moisture like tiny water magnets within soil. Hydretain® Extra Strength Root Zone Moisture Manager also features an advanced environmentally sound surfactant for improved soil penetration. Hydretain® ES Plus manages available soil moisture, extending watering intervals of indoor and outdoor plants, flowers, vegetables, shrubs, trees and grasses by as much as 2 to 3 times.
How often is Hydretain® applied?
Each application reduces watering for up to 3 months! Hydretain® Plus ES 1 quart bottle comes with an easy to use calibrated nozzle - Just attach your garden hose, and apply to your lawn / turf. One quart treats up to 3,500 square feet, and lasts for up to 3 months!
And, Hydretain® ES Plus also works great in any Treegator® Bag. Just add 4 ounces of Hydretain® ES Plus for every 1" of tree caliper (trunk diameter) to your Treegator® Bag when filling with water.
