Wilt Stop
Wilt Stop forms a clear, flexible film on treated plants which holds moisture in on plant foliage reducing moisture loss. You spray it on the leaves of a plant . Make sure the plant roots have been well-watered the day before. You don’t want to apply it on the hottest days of summer or when the plant is thirsty.
Soil Moist
Soil Moist is a polymer that was developed in the early ’70s. It is an amazing product that will cut your water use in half if you incorporate it into your potting soil in a pot or in the ground; remarkable stuff. For plants already planted, take a pencil or chop stick and poke holes in the soil around the plant. Then carefully sprinkle just a little bit in each hole. Use the pencil or chopstick to help direct the dry polymer deeper into the soil. Too much and you will end up with “jello” like material oozing out of the ground.
EZ-Wet
EZ-Wet actually breaks the surface tension of water and allows it to penetrate our heavy clay soil rather than allowing water to run off. We are saving that water and giving extra to the plant.
Gypsum
Gypsum is a really a great addition to salty, heavy clay soil. It can relax the soil, allowing it to absorb moisture a little more willingly as it will release the salts.
Shutoff Valve
Any kind of watering device that has a shutoff is really helpful so you can focus your watering, rather than doing wide spray type watering. If you have a shutoff, you can go from plant to plant and turn your water off between plants.
