ratio of 1:50-100 (1 part of gel to 50-100 parts of soil) will actually improve the
characteristics of the soil and its water binding capacity.
Natural drainage and reuse of sacks
Hang the sacks in an airy room (protected against sun and rain). In a few weeks, water will evaporate and sacks can be used again. Drying time depends on temperature and humidity of air (app 1–2 months).
