Berlioz Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have been looking for 'Swell Gel' or similar crystals to mix with the compost in my window boxes but cannot find any locally (Toulouse). Has anyone seen any or found them on-line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeinfrance Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm north of you in the Loire Atlantique. Round here you can get them in the Gamm Vert, Jardiland, Villa Verde.The other thing to consider is mulching and or the little terracotta balls they use on the ground surface here to reduce evaporation.

Roz Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I couldn't find any in our area, I found this UK company online who were happy to post abroad, just send them an email and they will be happy to help. The last lot I bought from them lasted me years and years (but that was in the UK) - you only need to add a flat teaspoon to, say, the average hanging basket. It is important to hydrate it first and add it to your soil mixture before potting up... otherwise it can push the plants out of the pots!Good luck!http://www.greenacresdirect.co.uk/water_product_details.php?prodID=36&name=Broadleaf+P4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
