Default Water Gel

Any thoughts on 'over using' water gel granules in hanging baskets, any
downside on using lots, (except for the cost)
This year have experimented, have seven 18" baskets, and those in the sun I
have used three times the recommended dose, south facing wall, watered twice
daily, from a small bore pipe running around the house.

Never had any problems with it.

If you have a delicatessen which gets regular supplies of chilled stuff
- smoked fish, olives, pies, etc, they usually come with strips of
polythene pockets of that gel, hydrated, and frozen.

Every deli I have come across just throws these away.

What you don't want to use immediately you can dry out for later use.
