A moist root zone is critical to any plant. Water Reserve™ stores over 100 times its weight in tap water, releasing a steady supply of water as your plants need it. Water Reserve™ is a synthetic acrylic copolymer. The polymer is a non-toxic and safe to use in all landscape applications, Water Reserve™ will continue to work for extended periods of time.

DIRECTIONS FOR TURF/SOD
- Use Water Reserve™ at a rate of 6 pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or 300 pounds per acre if the polymer is worked into the soil at a depth of 5 to 6".
- Use 4 to 5 pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or 175 to 225 pounds per acre if the polymer is worked into the soil at a depth of 3 to 4".
- Broadcast the polymer with a spreader or drop seeder for even distribution. Work into the soil. Spread seed or lay sod. Roll and water abundantly.
DIRECTIONS FOR POTTING
- Premix the appropriate amount of Water Reserve™ with the potting soil.
- Sprinkle evenly throughout the root zone. Do not place in top 2" of soil.
- After planting, water abundantly to allow the polymer to absorb the maximum amount of water. Note: It is good to prehydrate recommended amount of water reserve in a bucket before using. This keeps the polmer from swelling and pushing plants out of the pots.
DIRECTIONS FOR TRANSPLANTING
- Use 1.5 to 2 oz. of Water Reserve™ per 1" of rootball.
- Mix half the amount around the planting hole and mix the balance with the backfill.
- Do not mix Water Reserve™ with the top 2" of backfill. Water abundantly.
- The rate should be increased to 2 to 3 oz. per 1" of rootball in sandy soil. Use 1/2 oz. (2tsp.) per 4" of rootball, 1 oz. (4tsp.) per 8" of rootball and 1 1/4 oz. (5 tsp.) per 10" of rootball.
