Peat, coir, bark or field soil, it makes no difference. Dry it past the point of no return and it repels water instead of holding it. You water it, it looks watered, and the plant dies three weeks later at the customer's end. BountiGel P is a powder you blend into the medium or place in the planting hole. It holds water in the rootzone so the medium never reaches that point. Fewer watering events, fewer losses after dispatch, and a plant that grades better when someone else inspects it.
The pack costs nothing. You cover FedEx from Georgia, USA, door to door. We book the collection and handle the paperwork, so all you send us is a delivery address. Most packs are on their way within a week of the address landing.
Holds water where roots are. The powder swells in the medium, then releases back to the plant instead of draining past it.
Longer between waterings. Fewer dry pockets, more even growth across the bench or the block.
Plants that arrive alive and grade up. Replant and beating-up costs are the number most operations already track.
Order
Ten kilos is deliberately small. It is enough to run a properly replicated trial against an untreated control and not enough to change how you operate. Tell us what you grow and where it goes, and we will send the pack with the protocol written for it.
Add at least a name, an email and what you grow, and we can get the pack moving.

What comes with it
Each protocol sets the rate, the layout, what to measure and when, and every one carries an untreated control. Free to read in full, and yours to run without us.
Container and plug propagation
Blended into the medium at the mixer
The cleanest trial on this list, because medium, water and bench are all under your control. If one pack is going to answer anything, it answers here.
Tree and shrub seedlings
Nursery through to planting out · any species
Site it on your worst ground. The driest, the most free-draining, the block you expect to lose. A treatment that only performs on good ground has told you nothing you can act on.
Landscape, amenity and orchard planting
Contractors and estates · pit planting
The application where the dose per plant is largest and the water bill is a line item somebody already argues about. Bowser hours are the result here, not growth.
Field transplant crops
Tobacco and vegetables · slurry in the transplant water
Replant labour moves before yield does. Log it separately from survival, because it is the cost a contract manager already tracks.
Cut flowers and ornamentals
Bed and container production
Grade at the far end is where the money is in this crop. Record how the treated stems are rated on arrival, not only how they looked leaving.
Why an untreated control
Every hydrogel supplier quotes swelling figures from their own lab, in deionised water, in a medium you do not use. A number produced on your bench, next to an untreated control you laid out yourself, is the only one worth acting on. Every protocol uses the layout below, and the result is yours whatever it says.
Before you commit a season, Section 0 tells you what this product does in your own water, and how much capacity you lose at feed strength. It takes thirty minutes and two jars, and it is the part most suppliers leave out.
