Thanks for the review, Trish.

I love and use the crystals often. I hydrate mine before adding them to the potting mix, otherwise sometimes I put too many crystals in, and when it rains hard they are flowing out. .

By the way, Watersorb is not the only company that makes these. My favorite is Soil Moist. It comes with no fertilizer, fertilizer, or Mycorrhizal Soil Additive which I think really helps plants. I've used it for years.

Here's the website for Soil Moist. Lots of neat things to do with the crystals, and there's a calculator on the page to help you know how much you need for the size container you have.

This product you can find in garden centers, or it's quite reasonable on Ebay.
