I’ve been wondering how this works. Not sold yet, seems like some folks just keep throwing all this “stuff” on their lawns. Just because it’s new! It may work awesome, I don’t know. Seeing we’ve had so much rain in New England so far I couldn’t tell if I used it. See me in July or august if it doesn’t stay wet! Brake fluid will pull moisture out of the air, don’t think I want it on my lawn or plants though! I’m glad you did this test. Thanks!

I see no difference in your grass test for hydretain. Also, many powders melt when in outdoors. You could probably do the same with sugar on a hot day, doesn't mean it's pulling in moisture from the air. It could be just melting. I'm not buying this product as I see no evidence of what it claims and not convinced it doesn't just wash away after a few waterings.

Have you ever used the gallon jug of Hydretain? I purchased the gallon jug as part of my seeding project this weekend. It says to use 9 oz/1,000 sq. feet and use a minimum dilution rate of 15:1 (water to Hydretain). If I have a 5,000 sq ft. lawn and use 45 oz of Hydretain, does this mean I will need to use 675 oz of water in a tank sprayer (5.2 gallons) to cover the yard? This seems very diluted to me. Thanks!
