250gms - Swell Gel from TwoWests & Elliott

Mixed into compost Swell Gel granules help to keep your plants moist by absorbing and retaining up to 400 times their weight in water, making them ideal for plants in hard to reach or confined areas such as hanging baskets or plants greedy for water such as tomatoes.

Mix into compost to act as self-contained water reservoirs (at the same time improving soil aeration).

Granules expand when wet, absorbing and retaining up to 400 times their weight in water.

Reduces the need for watering by up to 75%.

Also useful for the controlled release of fertilisers.

Once the plants have exhausted the granules' supply of water simply re-water and they re-expand; this process can be repeated for up to 5 years.

Ideal for use in hanging baskets, tubs, growbags, house plants, shrubs etc.

250gms is sufficient to treat 250 litres of compost (reduces to 125 litres for thirsty plants e.g. in hanging baskets).
