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 channelled into the root zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Baileys Grosorb used for?
Baileys Grosorb is a water-absorbing soil amendment designed to improve soil moisture retention and reduce watering frequency. It helps plants access water more efficiently, supporting healthier growth and improved drought tolerance.
How does Grosorb improve soil moisture?
Grosorb works by breaking down the waxy hydrophobic coating on soil particles that prevents water absorption. Once applied and watered in, water can penetrate the soil profile normally rather than running off the surface.
Can Grosorb help reduce watering requirements?
Yes, Grosorb helps soil retain moisture for longer periods, which can reduce how often watering is needed. This makes it especially useful in hot, dry, or water-restricted conditions.
What are the benefits of using Baileys Grosorb?
Baileys Grosorb improves water efficiency, supports stronger root development, reduces plant stress, and enhances overall soil performance. It is an effective solution for improving plant survival and growth in challenging conditions.
