I use WATERSORB in my garden.

Watersorb is a polymer crystal. Dry, in the larger sizes it looks like rock salt or in smaller sizes like white sand. When you add water it absorbs up to 400 times its density ( 1 tsp dry = 1 Gallon hydrated). Hydrated it looks like crushed or chipped crystal clear ice with the consistency of jello. The way it works is it stores water until the surrounding soil or roots start to dry at which time it time releases it’s moisture. In 5-7 years it breaks down into harmless ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. This is a perfect idea for those who don’t remember to water as often as they should or someone who goes on vacations. It can be used with soil or by itself instead of soil (food nutrients ie. fertilizer preferably that intended for hydroponics needs to be added to the water used to hydrate the crystals). It can even be colored for craft purposes by using dye or food coloring to color the water before the crystals are placed in the water. Other outlets also sell a pre colored crystal for craft use for an increased price. There are two grades- agricultural (with dust particles left in) and craft (all dust particles removed). Watersorb is a potassium polymer which is reportedly better for plant use and the environment then sodium based polymers.
