Baileys Grosorb | Granular Soil Wetting Agent – Hydrophobic Soil Treatment

Baileys Grosorb Granulated 25L – Premium Wetting Agent for Hydrophobic Soil

Baileys Grosorb Granulated 25L is a high‑performance granular wetting agent designed to correct hydrophobic, water‑repellent soils and eliminate dry patch across Australian lawns and gardens.

Its organic, biodegradable formulation breaks down the waxy coating that prevents water from soaking into the soil, allowing moisture to penetrate deeply and evenly through the root zone.

By improving water infiltration and retention, Grosorb ensures every drop of water is used efficiently. This reduces run‑off, lowering irrigation requirements, and helping lawns stay greener for longer. Ideal for sandy soils, compacted areas, high‑traffic turf, and garden beds suffering from poor moisture absorption, Grosorb delivers reliable results in both residential and commercial landscapes.

Whether you’re maintaining a premium lawn or restoring tired soil, Grosorb provides a simple, effective solution for improving soil structure and boosting plant health year‑round.

Key Features

• Granular wetting agent for hydrophobic soils Breaks down water‑repellent soil barriers to allow deeper, more consistent water penetration.
• Improves moisture retention Helps soil hold water longer, reducing evaporation and improving drought resilience.
• Reduces run‑off and pooling Ensures applied water reaches the root zone instead of sitting on the surface.
• Promotes stronger root development Better moisture access encourages deeper, healthier root systems.
• Organic and biodegradable formulation Safe for lawns, gardens, plants, pets, and the environment.
• Easy to apply Granules spread evenly and activate with watering, no mixing or specialised equipment required.
• Ideal for Australian conditions Highly effective in sandy, compacted, or nutrient‑poor soils.
• Large 25L bag for broad coverage Treats approximately 400–600m², making it suitable for both home lawns and commercial sites.

Why Grosorb Is Beneficial for Lawns

• Fixes dry patch fast Hydrophobic soil is one of the most common causes of patchy, uneven lawns. Grosorb restores moisture pathways so turf can absorb water properly again.
• Boosts fertiliser effectiveness When water can’t penetrate soil, nutrients can’t either. Grosorb improves nutrient movement into the root zone, enhancing the performance of fertilisers and soil conditioners.
• Supports greener, healthier turf Consistent moisture availability leads to stronger growth, better colour, and improved lawn resilience.
• Reduces water usage By helping soil absorb and hold water more effectively, Grosorb lowers irrigation requirements, ideal for water‑wise lawn care.

Application Rate

• 40 - 60 grams m2, 25L treats 400-600m
• Water thoroughly after every application

Correct water repellent soils with Baileys Grosorb
Most Australian soils suffer from a hydrophobic condition, commonly referred to as “run-off”. This condition occurs naturally, but particularly in soils which are regularly worked and as gardens and lawns become more established. Similarly garden pots and planters are also affected. Baileys Grosorb is designed to correct this, breaking down the waxy barrier causing the problem and allowing water to rapidly soak through the soil.

Reduce water use and improve plant growth
The use of Grosorb will make the most of the water you apply, ensuring it is absorbed and not lost to the environment through evaporation and run-off. This in turn enables healthy plant growth and root development as water and applied nutrients are channeled into the root zone.
