GR-150 is an environmentally safe water absorbent (water absorbing crystals) that soaks up excess water in the soil and holds it until your grass and plant roots need it. GR-150 acts as a water reservoir in the soil---one that can be filled and emptied many times. The use of GR-150 will result in less care and watering for virtually all plant-growing applications.

Park Landscaping |
|
Premix GR-150 at a rate of 0.75 - 2.5 lbs. per cubic yard of soil. It is important to obtain full hydration of the crystals as quickly as possible to help stabilize the soil structure. |
|
|
|
Transplanting Plants |
|
During prolonged transportation of plants, GR-150 can provide an adequate supply of water without any spillage. Pre-hydrate GR-150 by mixing 1/2 cup of crystals with 4 gallons of water. Let stand for 30 minutes. Fill the base of a watertight box to a level of one inch. Remove your plants from their pots and place the root balls into the Gr-150 gel. For bare-root plant transportation, make sure that the gel is firm to allow good aeration of the roots. |

Lawn Sodding |
|
Prepare soil for sod. Apply GR-150 to prepared soil at a rate of between 2-10 lbs. per 100 square feet. Rake crystals into soil (optional). Lay sod and water well. |
