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.

Directions for Use (click on heading)
Potting Soil
Mix GR-150 with potting soil at the dosages recommended below:
1 quart soil mix, add 0.5 Tsp GR-150
12 quarts soil mix, add 2 Tsp GR-150
Transplanting Trees and Shrubs
Generally, trees and shrubs require constant watering until their roots become reestablished. In summer conditions, using GR-150 for transplanting can reduce mortality rates by as much as 30%. GR-150 does not promote rotting of the root structure. 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.
2 gal. root ball, add 1/4 cup GR-150
5 gal. root ball, add 1/2 cup GR-150
15 gal. root ball, add 1 1/2 cup GR-150.
Hanging Baskets
To reduce the required frequency of watering hanging plants during the summer months, add GR-150 to potting soil when constructing your basket
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.
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. The application of GR-150 can reduce watering requirements by as much as 60% in the summer months. Your newly laid turf will quickly establish a vigorous root structure requiring less care.
1000 sq. ft. Sod, add 5 lbs. GR-150
5000 sq. ft. Sod, add 25 lbs. GR-150
