How often do I need to add water too my MoistEarth granules garden or containers?
Crystals can survive for weeks without being watered and not come to any harm. Additional watering or rain (if applicable) will cause the Granules to absorb and retain water regenerating itself each time it gets additional water up to its capacity. Avoid water build-up by not watering when the ground is soaked.
               
How do I discard any unwanted MoistEarth granules?
Unwanted crystals can be mix into any soil source, flower beds, gardens, etc. or you can discard them in your regular trash pickup.. Do not flush or pour granules down the drain as it is possible to clog drain pipes
               
Can I sprinkel my plants top-soil with dry granules?
No and, do not leave Granules exposed to direct sunlight or even Air-Conditioning for a long periods of time as they will dry back to their solid state. Exposure and repeated drying cycles hastens premature degradation. (review for dry application)
               
What are the factors I need to know to get an optimum vegetables garden?
Vegetable size and quality is generly reduced if water is inadequate during the plant growth and, plants do not develop a dense enough foliage to protect fruit and vegetables from sun scalding. Use the 1-2 mm (Medium) dry polymer crystals.Use 4 pounds of the dry polymer crystals per 100 square feet at a 4-6 inches of depth cultivation. Use less for drier plants and more for moisture loving plants. After planting, a good coat of mulch will dress up the bed and cover any loose polymer granule gel, protecting the granules from premature degradation by sunlight. And, don't for get to water your new garden.
