Using Polymer Gels When Starting Seedlings
Mixed with potting soil that is used for starting seeds, Polymer Gels foster improved rates of seed germination. The Polymer Gels hold water in the soil, insuring the consistent moisture that is so important for good seed germination.

Its presence also dramatically reduces shock from lost moisture when seedlings are transplanted.

Later when seedlings are set out in an established bed that does not have Polymer Gels in the soil, add little pockets of the gel and soil mixture in the area around each transplant.
