How P4 Absorbs Water
P4 is stored and transported as small, non-hazardous crystals. Once these are mixed into your compost/growing media and hydrated, they begin absorbing water and swelling. Once they are fully hydrated, they resemble jelly particles. Plant roots colonise these particles, which release the water back to the plant as the plant needs it.

Adding P4 to compost
Adding P4 to compost allows plants to grow faster and better than planting/seeding in non-treated compost. From a few flowers or veggies in the back garden to huge landscaping projects, P4 consistently provides increased growth compared to non-treated plants.

Plant Survival
These trays of Barley, grown under controlled drought conditions, show how the addition of P4 improves plant survival. The plants were not watered for the six days previous to this photograph, and you can see the P4 treated plants show no sign of water stress. The P4 treated Barley then matured to harvest stage with no additional water or nutrient supply.

Speedier Maturation
It's not only increased growth, but faster maturation that makes P4 ideal for landscaping and hobby gardening. Plants flower earlier and for longer, as they have minimal water stress to slow their growth. In this picture, P4 treated plants are in the centre column, with non-treated plants on either side.
