Would it work to use polymer crystals in the hole of ligularias and other
plants that require constantly moist situations? When it gets dry here in
Nebraska, there is no place on this property that I can keep constantly
moist. The polymer crystals(Soil Moist is the product name of the ones
I've been using) swell up with water and release it slowly.
