Hydretain is definitely not a "snake oil" product. It works. I've used it in conjunction with wetting agents for the past couple of years and my localized dry spots have disappeared. This is one of the first products I by every year and one I recommend to everyone who's lawn I work on. Another great video !!!
So glad i found your channel. I subscribed on the first video i saw. Good info no fluff or the cheesy music all lawn care channels think they have to have.
Great Explanation! I have been using the Hydretain ES Plus II version which adds a surfactant "Wetting Agent" for better penetration as well as Potassium Humate aka "Humic Acid". It is only 5$ more per gl and I think the benefits are well worth the extra $$$. It truly does work 100% and suggest it to everyone who asks me about summer watering. Lots of great tips in this vid, stressing the need for it to be watered in ASAP. Great information as always! Peace and God's Love! Chad Upstate NY
Thanks for the explanation. I think the key and you said it is that it needs moisture in the soil before applying. Not gonna turn a crust into moist soil. And other thing to mention is the granular has a super stinky smell! Haven’t noticed with the liquid. Good info!
Great video...Curious what the mix rate is? I have heard 9 oz per 1,000 sqft. Which I figure is about 6 oz per gallon of water. Is this what you have found?
I was thinking the same thing, and I’m skeptical that it’s not the case. I’d like to see a scientific explanation of why this product would not augment the conditions within which fungi would thrive.
@@TurfCulture I figured out what caused the fungus in my yard. It was my blade!!!! It had a few nicks. I hadnt checked it in a month, Big mistake!!! I applied diseaseX and propiconazole 2 weeks apart. I changed the blade and got the old one sharpened. Its clearing up now.
Granular didn’t work at all for me. I simply applied 3lbs per thousand just a couple of hours before a rain storm, easy huh, and throughout the days, weeks, months noticed zilch. I wasted so much money and am not a fan of hydretain.
