Preparing for Winter Months

During winter months there in an always the possibility of increased rain, snow or frost. If you live in a region that is mostly wet during the winter DRiWATER® continues to work normally.  In the event of heavy rains, the microorganisms in the soil migrate away from DRiWATER® to avoid being too wet, and the lack of microorganisms at that point will nearly stop DRiWATER® from liquefying.  When the soil begins to dry out again, the microorganisms will migrate back toward DRiWATER® and begin to liquefy again.  The concern for plants in Winter is frost and low temperatures.  DRiWATER® freezes when temperatures fall below 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and will not be affected when thawing occurs.  If DRiWATER® is in the ground during a freeze, it will stop liquefying when soil temperatures reach below 38 degrees because the microorganisms become dormant.  At these low temperatures the plants will be in their dormant stage also and will need very little moisture.  When the ground thaws, DRiWATER® will begin to liquefy again. This will give you the extra security during winter months.
