Landscape Industry Applications

Soil Moist captures and stores water that would normally percolate through the soil. Soil Moist will reduce plant watering by 50%.

Bare Root / Seedlings:

1. Mix one pound of SOIL FINES with 20 - 40 gallons of water.
2. Let the product stand for at least 15 minutes.
3. Dip the plant/tree immediately before planting.
4. Adjust the slurry to the thickness that best adheres to the roots.
5. When mixing the FINES in water, be sure the polymer is poured in slowly and that the water is moving. The longer the gel is allowed to stand, the tackier it will become and the better it will adhere to the roots.
6. One pound will treat approximately 12,000 - 19,000 seedlings.

Transplanting:

1. Use one and a half to two ounce of SOIL MOIST per one foot of rootball.
2. Mix one half the amount around the planting hole, mix balance with backfill.
3. Do not amend the top two inches of backfill with the polymer.
4. Water liberally. Rate should be slightly increased to two to three ounces per one foot of rootball in sandy soils
