WetLock PENETRATOR & RETAIN Soil Treatment

WetLock is a two-part system designed to:

1. Assist moisture to penetrate soils and clays

2. Retain moisture and nutrients in the soil

It consists of two products, WetLock PENETRATOR and WetLock RETAIN.

WetLock is available in three forms:

1. Liquid hose-on applicator

2. Power MicroGranule

3. Liquid concentrate

PENETRATOR unblocks water-repellent soils and clays by forming millions of tiny pathways down

through the soil. This also opens up the soil, allowing it to breathe and re-oxygenate. Soil compaction

is lessened and water and nutrients can penetrate deeply into and beyond the root zone, rather than

running off the surface. This deep penetration also encourages deeper root growth.

RETAIN disperses evenly through the soil strata and forms an ultra-fine molecular structure that

retains moisture and nutrients in a form that is readily available to plant life. A soil profile is rapidly

built which encourages a healthy biomass and sustainable plant growth.

WetLock is produced using benign technology, an Australian innovation designed to create products

which are safe for the user and the environment.

PENETRATOR uses no surfactants (unlike soil wetters). These detergents can strip out natural soil

ingredients, leading to degraded, unsupportive soils.

RETAIN overcomes the problems of the older-type water crystals that only give either a clump of

water-holding gel, or unevenly dispersed reservoir points through soil that has been mixed with water

crystals. RETAIN is not known to exhibit characteristics of phytotoxicity, unlike the older-type

products.

WetLock in granular form is typically applied at the rate of 10 grams per m².

WetLock in liquid form is typically diluted at the rate of 3 ml per litre of water and the mixture typically

applied at the rate of 1 litre per m².

WetLock is a long-lasting treatment and soil conditioner, unlike soil wetters. Typical effective life is

approximately 12 to 24 months depending on soil type, rainfall etc.
