Further information
Broadleaf P4 Water Retention Granules are a collection of water-absorbing polymer particles designed to soak up substantial quantities of water, and transforming into a gel that functions as a water reservoir within the soil.
Upon contact with water, these granules absorb and swell, to form discrete particles of water-charged gel. When integrated into the soil (or compost), the polymer granules serve as 1000s of tiny reservoirs, containing rain or irrigation water. Plant roots establish a presence within these water-charged gel reservoirs, allowing them to draw out more than 95% of the stored water as needed, sustaining their hydration over an extended duration.
