Hydrocell

Water Saving Soil Improver


You can have a healthy garden while using less water... with Hydrocell Water Saving Soil Improver.

 

Hydrocell is a unique soil improver with remarkable water holding properties. It looks like polystyrene flakes, but mixed into your soil or potting mix, Hydrocell holds up to 60% of its volume in water.

It is suitable for all kinds of gardening applications including tree planting, garden beds, lawns, potted plants and rooftop gardens. Want to know more about our slimline (100mm) rooftop garden trials? See our Blog for more info

The video above shows how to use Hydrocell in potting plants. The same principles apply for usage in garden beds, hanging pots, existing gardens and tree planting.


In fact, the product is so effective, Brisbane City Council and Greening Australia are now using Hydrocell in their street tree plantings and they couldn't be more thrilled with the results.
