Hello once again
I was wondering what is the concensus on the use of water storage crystals in the container mixes to help keep the plant watered well, especially if you were to go on an extended trip and didn't want to overwater before leaving.

We've been using Soil Moist Polymers for years in our mixes through out the nursery, it's reduced our watering about 50% and in the Arizona heat its helped root zone stress in our #15 containers.

I use them in my normal mix as well. It's dry about 6 months of the year here, so water conservation is a good thing.
