Introducing Root Booster Strips, the underground water storage solution designed to enhance soil permeability. These strips are specifically crafted to be mixed into the soil near the roots and vegetation, providing exceptional support for irrigation, improving substrate permeability, and preventing compaction.

Enjoy the benefits of a more aerated soil that ensures your plants receive the optimal supply of water and air they need to thrive. With their lightweight design, Root Booster Strips are the perfect choice for creating a healthier and more nourishing environment for your plants.

The BIO5 material is compostable with biodegradable properties after 2-5 seasons underground. The perfect addition to your perennials, Root Booster products using BIO5 are made of cellulose fibers and polylactide for an eco-friendly approach that doesn’t disappear quickly. Remarkable water-retention ability allows up to 90% of material volume to be filled with water, ensuring roots stay nourished during extended dry periods -- you can water half as often.

Installation:

Simply mix Strips into the soil. The following guidelines can be used:
For planters and containers, 5-gallon bag of strips is sufficient for use with up to 100 gallons of soil (ratio 1:20). Mix in more lite strips for small pots, and a little less on a percentage basis for larger pots.
A 5-gallon bag of strips will support 1 large tree or 2 smaller trees.
For use under turf on a lawn or sports field, the 5-gallon bag will cover 200 - 400 ft², assuming you will have about 4 inches of soil.
As greater concentrations are recommended for green roofs, the 5-gallon bag will cover 100 - 200 ft² in this application.
