Water Saver Organic
Get it between - and -.
One easy monthly treatment for easier, faster, less messy watering, indoors and out - and 30 to 50% savings on irrigation in real world conditions:
Collapsible content
Make dry substrate physically easier to re-hydrate
for less water on the floor and more and more where you need it: around the roots of your plants.
Fight evaporation and unwanted losses into deep soil
maintaining a more even balance of humidity across your plant's rootzone for happier plants and soil microbes.
Works in all common growing media
from garden soil though composts and coco coir to peat and peat free mixes and mosses.
Great for houseplants in challenging hot / dry / draughty conditions
as well as hanging baskets, raised beds, south facing borders, living walls, kokedama, bonsai and more. Also perfect for getting that humidity balance right without waterlogging when you're sowing seeds.
Plant-Based, non-toxic, non-hazardous, rapidly and *safely* biodegradable
and contains no polyacrylamide. Vegan and Organic.
Just one to three pumps per litre of water once a month
can reduce water losses by 30 to 50%. Simply apply when you're watering or soaking your plants as you would normally.
For naturally highly water retentive substrates (e.g. fresh high organic compost)
Use one to two pumps in a one litre watering can (1 to 2 ml / L) and three for old soil / substrate or to rehydrate dried and hydrophobic peat / coco / peat free compost etc.
Easily go back to the original water retention level of your substrate (eg when overwintering container grown plants etc)
Simply stop application and natural soil microbes will break it down harmlessly in a fortnight to a month or so depending on how active your substrate is.

Water Saver Organic vs Water Saving Crystals
Water Saver Organic isn't just easy to apply and non toxic it stays that way when it breaks down too, providing a natural carbon source for beneficial microbes in your soil.

Usage
Use 1 pump (1ml) per litre for fresh, highly retentive substrate, and up to three pumps (3ml) per litre for fast draining, older or otherwise poorly retentive substrate. Apply mixed in water only.
Re-apply as required when effects subside (one month or more in substrate with low microbial levels, two weeks or less in highly active organic soils)
Store away from extremes of temperature. Water Saver Organic is non-hazardous and non-toxic but always store garden products away from children and pets.
Avoid over-watering after applying to avoid rinsing product away: Water Saver is designed to retain the water you’d normally lose whilst trying to wet substrate properly when watering normally - the water that runs out of pots before the top of the soil is properly wet, the water that runs off the side and onto the floor, or gets lost to trees under borders and deep into raised beds before shallow bedding plant roots can take it up: but it can’t retain everything. Once substrate is fully saturated, it can’t retain any more water. Water Saver makes that state easier and faster to achieve with less wastage. It then maintains humidity balance for longer vs untreated substrate.
In pots and containers: Once you’ve applied Water Saver, you’ll notice water going into substrate easier and faster: stop when you start to see runoff*. Job done.
In open soil / raised beds etc: if your watering is timed / metered, reduce by 30% and if your plants are still happy, continue to -40 or -50%. If you water by hand and have a regular regime, reduce it by a third or more and look to your plants as a guide.
*A degree of runoff is healthy in many situations, and you don’t need to re-apply Water Saver afterwards, but do re-apply after prolonged or repeated flushing of substrate.
