    Q
    Does the type of soil make a difference when using Hydretain ES Plus?
    I have soil that is clay. It has been a challenge to have a good lawn. And as I am working off a well, having to water less would be a benefit.
    A
    Per the manufacturer, Hydretain ES Plus works best in sandy and less compacted soil but will also work well in clay type soils such as Georgia Red Clay and Black Gumbo Clay. You will need to airfy the clay soil if it is heavily compacted first to improve penetration and drive the product down into the soil.

    Q
    Is Hydretain RTS a liquid aeration for use on compacted soils?
    A

    Hydretain RTS has Hydretain's root zone moisture management technology with a non ionic surfactant that is environmentally sound and a renewable resource that will improve soil penetration. This is designed to reduce watering by 50% for plants and turf. It is made of a new chemistry that is neither a superabsorbent polymer or a wetting agent. Hydretain attracts free water molecules from the air, acting like water magnets - this vapor is usually unable to be used by plants and goes back into the air. Hydretain uses this water vapor and turns it into a liquid form that transfers it to the plant roots. This product will help keep plants and turf alive and green. Hydretain saves water usage, lowers labor and cost and provides a greener outcome.

    Q
    What is the dispersion rate for the Hydretain RTS sprayer?
    A

    The dispersion rate of Hydretain RTS is dependent upon the water pressure from the water hose. Per the manufacturer, the 32 oz bottle is enough to treat up to 3,500 sq ft. 

    Depending on if you are applying to turf, after seeding, sodding or sprigging, trees, shrubs, ornamentals, large planters and garden, additional watering will be required immediately following the application and days following. Please review the product label for more information.

    Q
    For lawns what is the dilution rate of ounces per gallon using Hydretain RTS?
    A

    General application rate for turf - Through hose-end sprayer apply 9 oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. once every 3 months or maintain monthly at 1/3 rate after initial full rate application. One quart treats up to 3,500 Sq. Ft. For best results apply to wet soil. Water in with at least 1/10 inch of water within the first hour to insure Hydretain RTS is washed off foliage and into the soil. Within 24 hours, follow with enough additional water to carry Hydretain down to and throughout the root zone. (The amount of additional water required to carry Hydretain throughout the root zone is dependant on the depth of the root zone of the treated area. Usually 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water is required.) Additional Hydretain may be required to correct difficult and extreme dry spot areas. Hydretain may be applied at up to 5 times the general application rate as a single treatment or in multiple applications. The Hydretain quart bottle has a ready to use hose-end proportioner applicator which dilutes as it sprays. Just attach a garden hose, break off the safety tab, turn the knob to the "on" position and begin applying. For maximum coverage, use broad spray strokes allowing for up to a 20' swath (10 feet in either direction).
