Green Leaf Organics Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 For outdoor I presume? You got bad soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 If you are looking for a long term fix to really poor sandy soils, look for and add any humates. Potassium humates, humic acid etc all improve soil moisture and nutrient retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 @GreenBeard Did you end up finding anything to wet your soul Still looking for a surfactant and cringe every time I use that G49 soapy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narnia Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sweet, thanks! I think one can grab agar-agar from health shops. Will do some research on it for foliar application. Any experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Are you looking for a wetting agent or a spreading agent ? Easiest thing for a spreading agent is a few drops of sunlight Liquid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sorry for the threadjack. A surfactant / spreading agent, yes. Am using the G49 stuff, link below, which is to my assumption the same/similar to dish soap, but at least without perfumes, antibacterial, etc.etc. but this is purely assumption. The warnings are scary af. http://www.efekto.co.za/shop/protection/garden-protection/garden-protection-insecticides/g49-wetter-benatter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
