Our Crystal Rain is the most advanced water crystal available in Australia and importantly, is acrylamide free, unlike other crystals. Acrylamide is a dangerous neuro-toxin.
We first introduced Crystal Rain in 1994 and there have been ongoing technical & manufacturing developments and improvements since then.
Crystal Rain is available in 6 different grades; from a fine micro grade to larger coarse grades, there is a fit for every need. It can be supplied in various sizes from 2L tubs, to 10L tubs, to 20L bags and even bulk 1200L bags
Use Rates:
Application rate in the soil types (poor, free draining and rocky) would be at 750 grams per cubic metre equivalent. This equates to 750grams per 10m2 and blended into the soil at a depth of 100mm.
For general potting mixes, a rate of 500grms-750grms/m3 is generally very good.
For specialist crops and mixes, please ask.
We have over 30 years experience with growing media & many types of potting mixes and crop specific requirements
Applications Methods
In ground use:
Sprinkle on surface and dig or rotary hoe into ground to depth of 100-200mm or 4-8 inches.
The alternative is to apply 5 grams (1 teaspoon) per tube dug into soil at twice the depth of the tube in a hole width of 100mm. Mix in well with the soils and then plant plants.
After planting, water well.
Do not use too much or the tube will lift up out of the ground as the Crystal Rain hydrates and swells.
Growing Media/ Potting Mixes:
Pre hydrate with normal or mineralised water and add recommended rates to media components when blending or, add dry.
Keep product in dry/ dark storage until use and store dry for any left over in the supplied bag/ bucket.
Shelf life is very good, so long as kept dry.
