Water-retaining crystals from DyoFix
Safe, non toxic and odourless, and absorb many, many times their own weight of water. DyoFix Water Crystals can be mixed with soil and any fertilizers required and then watered.
Once DyoFix Water Crystals are in the ground or your hanging baskets, the flowers and plants will have their own personal reservoir, and any rainfall will refresh the crystals.
Or if you collect rainwater and find that once your water butt is full any new rain is wasted, you can prepare some water crystals and store them in a cool place, in any container (even those excess supermarket carrier bags!) for use later in the year.
A supporter of RG, this company represents the best of British initiative: facing stiff competition from overseas they diversified into garden products - and I wish them the best of British luck!
