## Description

Hydretain Root Zone Moisture Manager - Drought Protection and Moisture Control for Lawns, Gardens, Containers - Reduces Watering, Delays Wilt - Covers up to 6,000 Sq Ft (15 lbs, Granule)

## Features

- MORE THAN A WETTING AGENT – Hydretain is fundamentally different than wetting agents, surfactants, or absorbent polymer crystals. Hydretain is the only water management product that uses food grade hygroscopic humectant components to convert unavailable soil moisture vapor into plant usable water droplets. This unique formulation keeps plants hydrated longer between waterings or rainfall.
- IMPROVES NUTRIENT UPTAKE & SEED GERMINATION – Hydretain not only helps avoid negative impacts of underwatering, it also helps plant roots collect and utilize more nutrients. Get more out of applied fertilizers and other amendments. Hydretain is also great for seeding and sodding to increase germination and establishment.
- LONG LASTING & EASY TO APPLY – Each application of Hydretain lasts up to 3 months. Covers up to 5,000 sq. ft. of lawns or 1,500 sq. ft. of garden beds. Apply topically to existing lawns or soil within containers, garden beds or around individual plants, including shrubs and trees. To improve transplant establishment, Hydretain can be mixed into the soil or applied topically at the time of seeding, sodding or planting. Water-in thoroughly after application. Hydretain will not function properly until it is watered-into the root zone. See product packaging for more detailed instructions.

    EFFECTIVE
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024*

This is a professional review of this product. I am a Florida State Certified Pest Control Operator I hold state licenses in general household pest control as well as Lawn and ornamental. In Florida you cannot operate a pest control or lawn fertilization business without a certified operator in charge of your operations. I have 42 years in the business and owned my own pest control business for 29 years. I only tell you this so you understand I am the professional. Florida weather by itself creates stress on insects, plants and lawn cultivars (your grass) fertilizing your grass will place additional stress on it. Additional water will also be needed especially during hot humid seasons, without water and certain nutrients the most predominant grass cultivar in this state (St, Augustine) will begin to stress and decline. When stressed grass sends out stress signals that are picked up by several different insects one being the chinch bug. This product when applied correctly and timely is effective for up to 90 days max. My company began offering this product to our clients almost twenty years ago, at first we had to educate our clients, after the first year they began to call to make sure we would be offering it again the next summer. I had first observed this product at a trade show and as I stood there talking to the sales person they put the powder version of this product into a glass vial with only the top open to the environment within 5 minutes the powder in the vial had turned into moisture. The product had pulled the water from the atmosphere around us. I highly recommend this product. timing, post treatment watering, and effective application are the two things to pay attention to. Living In Central Florida I wait to begin applications until mid to late June, remember 90 days max effectiveness with 60 days most effective. immediate watering in of this product is highly recommended, watering of no more than 5 to 10 minutes per zone. Know your square footage and apply per label. This  product is also effective in ornamental beds. Use of this product will reduce the seasonal water and heat related stress on your lawn. This reduction means less water usage, less fungus issues, (which means less heavy metal chemicals needed for your lawn) reduced likely pest infestation from reduced stress.

This stuff does work, I’m not exactly sure how but there is a noticeable difference between our lawn and our neighbors lawns , works great for lawns in the HOT summer lawns , Midwest gets scorching hot, lawns will fade still but looks much better than our neighbors and recovers a lot faster!

    Like that you don’t have to water the granular form in right away unlike the liquid
  

*by I***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022*

Too expensive for what it is.  And how do you ever really know if it’s making a measurable difference?  Could run an experiment in my yard I guess but who has the time for that.  I’m trusting this product and relying on the evidence presented by LCN on YouTube.  He’s helping sell your product so hope you’re taking care of him
