Description
Eco-Wet transforms dry or water-repellent soil into a moisture-retentive, nutrient-ready environment. By promoting even water distribution, it prevents pooling and runoff while ensuring water reaches the root zone. The formula improves soil porosity, encourages microbial growth, and enhances nutrient absorption, making it suitable for lawns, turf, gardens, irrigation systems, booms, in-furrow applications, and tanker treatments.
The liquid spreads through soil like ink on blotting paper, holding moisture where it’s needed most. Its natural polymers act like a sponge, physically strengthening the soil without causing damage, and providing a durable hydration effect that supports root development and long-term turf health.
Why Use a Wetting Agent?
Water-repellent soils often prevent irrigation and rainfall from reaching roots, leaving turf and gardens stressed and dry. Applying Eco-Wet addresses this problem by breaking down waxy coatings, loosening compacted patches, and allowing water to penetrate deeply.
Using Eco-Wet regularly:
- Improves water infiltration for even moisture distribution
- Reduces overall irrigation and water wastage
- Supports deeper and stronger root systems
- Enhances soil biology and microbial activity
- Promotes lush, resilient, and healthy lawns
Monthly applications help conserve water while maintaining soil structure and supporting long-term turf and garden vitality.
How Eco-Wet Works
Eco-Wet is a one-of-a-kind soil wetting agent that transforms water-repellent soils into moisture-retentive, nutrient-ready profiles.
The Blotting Paper Effect: Water spreads through the soil profile like ink on blotting paper, ensuring even coverage rather than channelling past roots.
The Sponge Effect: Natural polymers in the formula physically improve soil structure and hold water like a sponge, creating a long-lasting wetting effect that supports root development.
Key Benefits
When choosing Eco-Wet, you’re investing in more than just a wetting agent; you’re improving your soil’s long-term health and water efficiency. Key advantages include:
- Rapid water penetration for hydrophobic soils
- Maintains moisture in sandy, clay, and water-repellent soils
- Supports beneficial microbial activity for healthier soil
- Contains natural polymers that strengthen soil structure
- Non-ionic surfactants improve water distribution
- Suitable for lawns, garden beds, turf, irrigation, booms, and tankers
Application
| Application Type | Rate / Dilution | Instructions |
| Standard Lawns | 300 mL / 100 m² (1:100) | Apply during cooler parts of the day and water in well. If water rate is lower than recommended, irrigate thoroughly. |
| Premium Turf / Greens | 500 mL / 100 m² (1:100) | Reapply every 3–4 months if required. Water well after application. |
| Fairways | 1–2 L / ha (1:25) | Irrigate immediately after application. |
| Broadacre Boom (9–12″ spacing) | 5–15 L / ha (1:15 bare soil; 1:25 plant/soil) | Apply to surface only; avoid incorporating until ≥15 mm rainfall occurs. |
| Broadacre In-Furrow | 1–3 L / ha (1:25) | Apply via strong jet near soil surface; avoid burying in soil. |
| Irrigation Injection | 1–2 L / ha | Apply as required throughout the growing season. |
| Tanker / Verge Treatment | 1:1000 dilution | Apply to soil around shrubs and trees. Avoid excessive leaf contact. |
| Home Gardens, Lawns & Pots | 30 mL / 10 m² (1:300) | Apply every 8–12 weeks or as required. |
