1	Suffusion™ Soil and Media Wetting System Wetting Agent Penetrating Agent Rewetting Agent Liquid or Granule Tablet applicator
2	How are dry spots created? Poor irrigation Edge effects Uneven drying due to sun, wind etc Constant drying out Fungal / Microbial activity Natural water repellency Peat (natural lipids & waxes) Bark, loams, coconut fibre and other artificial substrates (microbial & fungal deposits) Other factors
3	Suffusion works 3 Ways 1. Wetting Agent - Reduces surface water tension 2. Penetrating Agent - Penetrates into the media 3. Re-Wetting Agent - Remains in the media to allow water to re-wet the soil particles
