Hydretain HYDRT3212 Moisture Control Hose End,32 fl oz,Blue

J’étais sceptique au début. Un produit qui promet de réduire les besoins en arrosage de moitié ? Ça sonnait un peu trop beau pour être vrai. Mais après quelques semaines d’utilisation, je peux confirmer : Hydretain fonctionne réellement. J’ai appliqué le produit au début de l’été sur mon gazon, en pleine canicule, avec des restrictions d’arrosage sévères. Résultat ? Mon gazon est resté vert et dense, pendant que ceux des voisins viraient tranquillement au beige croustillant. L’application est simple (je l’ai fait avec un pulvérisateur raccordé au boyau), et il n’y a pas d’odeur désagréable ni de résidu. Ça pénètre bien le sol et aide visiblement les racines à mieux retenir l’humidité. Est-ce que ça remplace complètement l’arrosage ? Non. Mais ça l’espace, et ça rend chaque arrosage beaucoup plus efficace. Un must si vous avez des périodes de chaleur prolongées, un sol sablonneux, ou des restrictions d’eau. Mon seul regret, c’est de ne pas l’avoir essayé plus tôt.

Lawn really holding out well this summer with less watering.

Most sellers sell this item in a twin pack for a lower cost. The product is great, just make sure you check the details and purchase from a seller that offers better value.

Unusual global climate heat destroyed my one year old lawn which was incredibly lush despite its young age because I manicured it well. Unbelievably, we took a five day trip and came back to a completely destroyed grass. We have sod up front with exposure to sun for about 15 hours a day (spring summer) and about 13 hours (fall/winter) based on how our house is situated. Water did not do the trick but it helps so once the climate heat broke, the grass can have a chance. Grass takes patience. Be patient and consistent. After four weeks of heat wave, we used hydratein. In addition to hydratein, the next day we used a mix of four tsp dish soap to a gallon of water for five minutes each section. The first application I just mentioned was done literally on a rainy day. My neighbors thought we were crazy. Six days later with one additional over night rain day and early morning watering right before sun rise, the recovery was extremely evident. The soil was looser and able to retain. Our fear in adding the soap water solution was disease from too much moisture but we survived. Retention def woke my grass up out of dormancy. Some spots went dormant due to the intense heat. Now that it’s awakening, we sprinkled granulated of epsom salt for magnesium to the loose soil. Watered it in with a spray hose consisting of a shot of it an and two shots of humid acid to get some nutrients to the roots. Were confident that this process will be successful due to this products application. We have cold weather tall fescue grass along with one section of tall fescue/bluegrass sod from a local farm. We are Northeast USA. Hope this helps someone.

This works as expected, however this really only covers 3500 sqft. I wish we could get 1 gallon or 2.5 gallon refills.
