Whats a wetting agent and when would one use one?
Wetting agents are basically a product that can by applied to the lawn to encourage water to be soaked up by the soil rather than just sit as a droplet on the surface. Many professional lawns, such as managers of croquet and bowling greens, use wetting agents. The product TruGreen use can reduce the amount of water needed by around 75% on clay soils or by around 50% on sandy soils. If your lawn has suffered as a result of a hot summer a wetting agent will help make the most of the water you apply.
