HOW TO MAINTAIN A BEAUTIFULL LAWN DURING A DROUGHT


The South East usually experiences drought conditions in the spring. This year is no different. Wild fires are currently raging near Myrtle Beach and Central Florida. Lake levels are also rapidly going down. Yes, we are definitely experiencing drought conditions.
So how do you maintain a nice green lawn when water restrictions allow you to water your yard only once or twice a week?
Simple, it’s called Hydretain. Hydretain is a liquid humectant which attracts moisture from the air and soil and holds it around the root zone for the plant to uptake. It forms a protective film, preventing percolation or evaporation. Hydretain is not a wetting agent like soap, which only improves water penetration in the soil. It truly retains moisture.
Golf courses in certain parts of the country, where water is expensive, are saving hundred of thousands of dollars each year by applying Hydretain. It cuts water usage by ½ to 2/3 and its effectiveness lasts up to six months. In addition, it aerates the soil and provides a carbon source for beneficial bacteria.
For home use, Hydretain is sold in a hose-end sprayer and in gallon jugs. I use it not only on my lawn but on my potted plants.
If you want to have the healthiest looking yard in the neighborhood, you should consider Hydretain. It’s affordable and it will save you money.

It's been hot, dry and very windy the last few days. Take a look at the celery plants on the left. Which one do you suppose received Hydretain?
