Evaporation
is our enemy...
That's
true, but maybe not quite the way you thought:
It's not the spray from sprinklers that evaporates;
the evaporation
happens some days after the water soaks in.
It
turns out that plants (except redwood trees and ferns) can't use water
unless it's in droplet form. They can't use humidity, even
when
it's laden with water.
Every
time the soil
dries after you water (or it rains), there's a point when the droplets
are gone and the remaining water is in the form of humidity.
At 99%
humidity, plants stop absorbing water, and the
humidity slowly
evaporates into the atmosphere. This represents an enormous
amount of water, water your plants
can't absorb.
Moisture
Manager
condenses this humidity into droplets
that plants can use, capturing the water that would otherwise evaporate away.
In fact, the active ingredient in
Moisture
Manager
is able to extract moisture out of the air, turning into
a pool of water in just thirty minutes at 20% humidity (that's low).
Once applied and watered in,
plant roots take up water, but the Moisture
Manager molecule
is too big to enter the root, so it builds up a film
on each root.
This film attracts water directly to the roots. Any
moisture available within several inches gets condensed onto the roots,
rather than being
evaporated away and lost.
This
water-stretching effect lasts about three months before the product
biodegrades harmlessly.
Moisture
Manager is
not a replacement for water - it serves to reduce
the amount of water you use outdoors, not eliminate watering. Lawns
need about one inch of water a week, but can survive on half that
amount when treated with Moisture
Manager.
The
manufacturer recommends that Moisture
Manager
be
applied every three months during dry conditions.
Moisture
Manager
is a USDA Biobased Product, so it's completely safe and
nontoxic.
Moisture
Manager
should
be applied by a professional applicator. For service in your
