TerraLoch Cellulose-Based Hydrogel Granules promote healthy and lush gardens by providing a moisture buffer for plants and soil microbes during drought conditions! These granules work by absorbing water and nutrients when available and releasing them to the root zone in drought conditions. Cellulose, derived from substances such as banana peels, offers a more environmentally conscious solution to water and nutrient retention than fully synthetic hydrogels, also known as “water beads” or “water crystals.” TerraLoch is especially effective in high soil temperatures up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Developed solely for agricultural use in high temperatures and sandy soils, TerraLoch is your solution to beat the heat! How to Use: Potted Plants: Remove the top 4 inches of soil on an average 8 inch diameter pot. Mix 1-3 tsp of granules into this top 4 inches of soil. You will need to place the plant into the pot and add soil mixture surrounding the entire root system of plant. In the Ground: One unit (16oz bag) will cover 100 square feet of soil worked into the root zone. This would be ideal for prepping the soil for planting new plants. Existing Plants: Poke a few holes to the root zone of plant and pour 1-3 tsp of granules in the hole. When you water the soil you will be charging the granules and activating its intended properties to help boosts your soils nutrients and water content. You can also pre-saturate a slurry and apply with a baster or similar apparatus.
