Linda Chalker-Scott, another horticulture professor and author of “ The Informed Gardener” (University of Washington Press, 2008), also doesn’t recommend antitranspirants and says better ideas are to keep the soil damp until it freezes and maintain a layer of insulating mulch over the ground. These crystals go a LONG way in ensuring that my plants have backup during dry spells and alleviate the necessity of prolonged watering. There is a silica-polymer gel you can put on plants that need to stay bare root for a bit, kind of similar to hair gel or aloe gel. I will be making updates on my Dumbassary thread if anyone is interested, and may do similar experiments with some of my son's old diapers we're still occasionally finding hidden under furniture. The truth is that compost cooks just fine with the microbes that enter the pile on the vegetative material and its roots (assuming you’ve used a mix of green and brown materials).

Here’s what Chalker-Scott says about them: “Landscape fabrics used in permanent landscape installations will eventually become a high maintenance issue in terms of appearance, weed control, and landscape plant health. But making them shiny is a cosmetic matter that comes with a potential down side, namely the potential to clog the leaf stomata (their “pores”) and inhibit transpiration (the way a plant “breathes”) by coating them with glossy materials.

Simply mix with soil to reduce the amount of watering needed; then when you do water plants, crystals will swell to absorb the water. My 1st grader wanted to do the school science fair this year (and then we realized we got WAY too late a start) and we planted marigolds in water beads soaked in different liquids. This coffee one is fascinating, you should cut open a few beads to see if that color is on the inside though I doubt it.As people mentioned, it would expand but even the directions I am seeing on the packages indicate a tea or tablespoon per pot.
