Hi Auralie. Yes, I have experience with hydro-crystals (which I believe to be the same thing). They do O.K. but not for an extended period of time. Say a 3-4 day weekend...your pots would be fine. Much longer than that I would not trust it. And with the heat the way it's been lately....I still have to water frequently. For houseplants, they work great.

I wondered where everyone was yesterday. I was busy, and didn't have
anything important to say (but then do I ever?)
In reference to the recent discussion on drip watering, I've been meaning
to ask about another product. This spring when I got my seed order from
Park's, they sent me a bonus of something called "DriWater". Then a month later
they sent me another. It says time-release water for all container gardening.
It looks like a gel in a clear plastic tube. Supposedly you can put it into a
container for slow-release of moisture. We haven't been away this summer so I
haven't needed to test it, but I am not sure I would trust it anyway.
Apparently you would need a lot of them for the sort of big pots in my container
garden anyway. Does anyone have experience with this product?
