wetting agent (saponin) 🧪 Inputs & Teas

A saponin-based surfactant extract that reduces water surface tension so it penetrates dry soil and mulch instead of beading off.

Jeremy uses a BAS saponin extract in little-bead form at about a quarter teaspoon per 3.5 gallons, well under the one-teaspoon label line.
