Abstract

Water retaining membranes are described that can be placed in the soil to hydrate plants. The water retaining membranes include a super absorbent polymers (SAPs) on or within substrate material that absorb significant amounts of water to retain water for use by plants. The absorbed water can be accessed by the plants as the soil dries out. The present disclosure also includes methods of making the water retaining membranes and methods of hydrating plant roots.
