Dual Surfactant Technology

Comparison between soils with and without Hydra Charge

Block Copolymer Surfactant

If you have greasy or clay soil, poor drainage or compacted soil, it can be hard for water to seep into the soil and reach the roots. This surfactant helps with that, aiding with water penetration into the soil.

Polyacrylamide Surfactant

This surfactant helps to aide in the root zone moisture retention and makes root zone moisture more uniform. This is especially helpful for when your lawn is experiencing drought or dry conditions and is struggling to staying hydrated.

When to Apply Hydra Charge

With both quick- and slow-release nitrogen, Hydra Charge feeds for up to 6 weeks.

This product has a cumulative response in turf. For best results, reapply every 4-6 weeks. Ideal for use during periods of drought or water restrictions and to avoid high water costs.

This product contains iron which may stain concrete and other surfaces. Be sure to sweep or blow sidewalks and driveways. DO NOT WASH OFF WITH WATER.

The 8.0 lb. application rate provides 7.04 oz. of surfactant/1,000 sq. ft.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Check The Forecast

Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.

Mow First

Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.

Clean Up

Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.

Water Deep

Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.

Don't Bag It

Leave lawn clippings for at least one mowing to avoid particle pick-up.

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.

Reviews

This is a very effective

"This is a very effective product. It even eliminated my lawns dry spots so it all looks the same even with very limited rain."

— Paul A. (5/5)

I live in extreme drought

"I live in extreme drought area in San Antonio. My grass is green all summer while my neighbors are dying and converting to xeriscapes. I believe they are turning me in for watering restriction violations because I keep getting checked by the local water company."

— Darrell L. (4/5)

Drought? No problem

"Last summer we had a bad drought of no rain in over 2 months. By applying Hydra Charge over the course of these two months my lawn stayed green while all the neighbors were brown/dormant!"

— Michael (5/5)

Great stuff

"I put Hydra Charge down in the early fall in NJ. My brown spots turned green again and my grass is still green in Dec. Highly recommend for lawn and gardens."

— Daniel T. (5/5)

Solid Results

"Noticed my yard has been handling the summer heat and humidity much better than my neighbors. Wish I would have got this product down sooner, but it is doing its job."

— Gage (4/5)

Texas Heat

"This is my first time using the Hydra Charge Biosolid Fertilizer, however I have used a lot of other Anderson products in the past. So far the lawn remains to be a lush green even during the TX heat."

— Scott C. (5/5)

Wow

"when everyone’s grass is burning up, mine is staying lush green. This is a great product. It’s worth the cost to prevent worry!Thank you folks for always being there for me."

— James R. (5/5)

Hydra Charge

"I applied the product to my front lawn which is about 1000 square feet after the grass was mowed. I immediately watered the grass to get the fertilizer down toward the ground and begin dissolving. I try to mow twice per week but was not able to mow again for a full week. I use a reel mower not a rotary and even two weeks later black fertilizer is in the catcher with clippings. It seems like only 50% or less of the product got into the soil."

— Wayne G. (1/5)

Excellent product

"While the heat up north soars past 95F daily, my lawn is holding on. I chalk this up to the help of Hydra Charge. This is an excellent product, and will help greatly in saving your lawn from the heat. I highly recommend you try this."

— James R. (5/5)

I love Anderson’s

"My lawn is the greenest and healthiest it has ever been. My latest applications of Lean and Green along with HydraCharge have resulted in an emerald green lawn. I watered once in June and once in July!"

— Kelly D. (5/5)
