Re: Where do I get soil moist??
I found a 3 pound can at www.garden.com which I still haven't used up --
back then, I did some research, and that was the cheapest. If you get it,
make sure you moisten it before you mix it into your soil. A few
tablespoons hold a bucket full of water. Amazing stuff. My daughter has a
tiny little stone rabbit with three alyssum plants in it which used to dry
out every 2h or so -- no room inside for any soil moist, but I put about
five soaked-up crystals right on top three days ago, and the plants are
still happy. There must be some exceptionally evil drawback.
