Careful attention to watering will minimise fungal problems and provide healthy growth in roses. The amount is dependent on the soil type roses are growing in and the prevailing weather conditions. Avoid watering the foliage at night as the moisture left on the leaves will help spread fungal problems such as Powdery Mildew and Black Spot.
EZI-WET's main function is to make the water soak into the soil rather than running off the surface. A soil wetter will reduce the surface tension of the soils so the water soaks in. And the most important part is it coats each soil particle so the next time water is applied, it will soak into the soil straight away and increase the water holding capacity of the soil. EZI-WET is approved under the Smart Approved Watermark scheme, the nationally endorsed water conservation scheme aimed at assisting Australians to save our most precious resource- water!
