Compacted soil blocks air, water, and nutrients. Thick thatch acts like a barrier between the turf and the soil. Bare spots leave room for weeds. That is where aeration, dethatching, and overseeding work together.

Hydretain is not another wetting agent, surfactant or super absorbent polymer crystal. It is actually a liquid group of hygroscopic and humectant components that attracts moisture. In other words, by acting like tiny “water magnets,” they form microscopic droplets within the root zone. As a result, this process allows plants to utilize soil moisture which would otherwise be lost to evaporation. Now that’s good science.
