Hydrogel "Recipes of the grandfather of Nikita", sand, 50 g

Hydrogel is a modern material for the accumulation, retention and subsequent uniform surrender of moisture. The hydrogel is able to absorb water up to 1000 times more than its own weight. When mixing a hydrogel with soil mixture for indoor and decorative plants, the irrigation rate is reduced by 50-60 %, and when introduced into open ground - by 20–40 %. The hydrogel does not lose its properties after complete drying and freezing. At the end of the expiration date, the hydrogel decomposes into carbon dioxide, ammonium and water.

Method of use:

1.1. Swing a dry hydrogel on the surface of the planted area. 1 m2 requires 20-50 g of dry matter. Sprinkle the hydrogel with an earth with a layer of no more than 2-3 cm thick. Plant the seeds and spill the site.

1.2. In the form of diluted solution. For 5-8 g, 1 liter of water is required. You can add liquid fertilizer to the solution. Insist within 20-30 minutes. Before planting in the hole, dip the roots of plants in a prepared solution, and then spill abundantly.

1.3. In the form of a mixture with soil. Mix a hydrogel with soil. 1 g of hydrogel is required for 1 liter of soil. Plant seedlings in the resulting mixture and spill.
