DRiWATER... landscape water supplement
Does any one have knowledge of where I can get DRiWATER... a chemical package/supplement that reduces watering demand by a slow release mechanism....
used in dry climate such as we have. Looking for source in Cabo or La Paz area.

Does this stuff really work. How much would you need for a palm tree?

Shimmer--never used that particular product although I had so-so results with other gel type products that came out in the late 80s--don't know if
this is just reformulated or what.
What has really been saving us water out here in the summer heat of Texas has been a very thick layer of mulch around the plants--works like a
charm--the soil here is clay so it stops the soil's wicking action and keeps all that water locked in for the plant to use.

I tried a few of these "moisture" holding soil supplements here in mmy so cal garden, and pants in those beds performed worse than nonamended soil.
These "moisture" soil amendments kind of ruin the soil for native pants (i.e. natives won't thrive). OK for pots, and maybe for other plants. Try
native plants, and mulch to maintain plants in firt few years.
