Don’t Worry About Drought with Moisture Trap
 Landowners have a huge investment in plowing, liming, fertilizing and using herbicides to grow crops and green fields that provide nutritious food for wildlife throughout the year and attract wildlife during hunting season. To ensure these crops and green fields will grow and flourish even during drought conditions, Hunter’s Specialties has introduced Vita-Rack Moisture Trap for use as a soil additive for green-field and crop plantings. Each particle of environmentally-friendly Moisture Trap can absorb and hold 400 times its own weight in moisture. Once Moisture Trap has been absorbed into the soil, it continues this absorption weight and releases 95% of the water it absorbs back into the soil. After experimenting with Moisture Trap, I’ve learned how Moisture Trap can help my vegetable and flower gardens and also my lawn, trees and shrubs.
Vegetable and Flower Gardening
- I put a very-small amount of Moisture Trap in small peat pots where I’ve planted vegetable plant seeds. When I use Miracle•Gro’s Quick Start to help germinate the seed, the Moisture Trap not only absorbs the water, it also absorbs the Miracle•Grow Quick Start and releases both when the peat pot begins to dry out.
- I mix-in a very-small amount of Moisture Trap when transferring my peat pot and the young plant into a larger container. When I water with Miracle•Gro, the plant not only survives but thrives.
- I mix Moisture Trap with the dirt and the fertilizer I put in the bottom of the hole where I’ll be planting a tomato plant when I transfer my young plant out into my garden. I water it heavily with Quick Start. The Moisture Trap absorbs both the water and the Quick Start below the root system. Under drought conditions, a reservoir of water is held in the Moisture Trap under the root system.
- Moisture Trap continues to capture and hold the water from my sprinkler system and/or the rain, when the weather gets really dry, and I have to water more often.
- Moisture Trap when sprayed on the ground next to the root system can absorb heavy dew and release it into the plant as the temperature rises during the day, insuring my plants are well-watered and that will continue to grow and produce food and flowers throughout the dry summer.
Lawns and Fruit and Nut Trees
I hate to cut grass and use herbicides to kill the weeds in my lawn. But I get more upset when I watch my lawn turn brown because of the intense drought conditions we often have here in the South during the summer months. During drought conditions, oftentimes we’re on water restrictions and may not be able to water our lawns or gardens but once or twice a week. When your lawn and gardens face 110-degree heat, this minimal watering doesn’t provide enough moisture to keep the grass green and the gardens producing. I’ll spray Moisture Trap onto the lawn, which will trap the water from the rain, the sprinkler system or the garden hose and provide that moisture to the roots of the lawn or the garden on the days when we’re prohibited from watering.
- I love vacation time, but watering is impossible then. However, if you water your lawn and garden before you leave on vacation and spray your plants and lawn with Moisture Trap, you’re far less likely to have a parched lawn and garden when you return from vacation.
- We plant fruit and nut trees during the fall in the South as the weather becomes cooler. However, during October, November, December and even January, our area of the country frequently has droughts. By adding Moisture Trap to the soil in, under and around the root systems of the trees, I’ll guarantee that the young tree I plant survives and thrives, even in dry conditions.
- Rodney Dennis, wildlife biologist and consultant, explains, “I generally get 75% survival from my trees I’ve planted for wildlife when I plant them in the fall. This year I mixed-in Moisture Trap around the root systems of the trees I planted and got 100% survival on all trees I planted this year.”
Moisture Trap isn’t a rain maker, and doesn’t cause water to fall from the sky when hot weather’s parching everything in sight. However, it will capture and hold the moisture it receives. Then release it to plants, trees, shrubs and lawns during drought conditions.
