Soil Additive That Retains Water and Reduces Watering – SOIL WATER TRAP

SOIL WATER TRAP is an easy-to-use soil additive with exceptional absorption capacity – it can retain up to 600 times its volume in water. It is a polymer specially designed for areas with frequent irrigation and high water consumption: gardens, greenhouses, landscaping works, or agricultural crops.

By retaining water from rain and irrigation, the product forms a natural and long-lasting reservoir in the soil for plants and trees, reducing water consumption and maintenance costs.

Key Features

• Mineral, single-component product

• 1 g retains up to 600 ml water

• Transforms into a hydrating gel upon contact with water

• Active in soil for approx. 4 years

• Absorption rate: ~1 hour

• Frost resistance down to –60°C

• Application depth: 7 cm – 1 m

• Decomposes naturally in the soil by 10–15% per year, fully returning to nature
