While acrylamide itself is quite toxic and carcinogenic. polyacrylamide is utterly harmless. Polyacrylamide is, as the name suggests, a polymer of acrylamide. The polymerization reaction destroys the toxicity and carcinogenicity of the molecule. As long as all of the monomer is removed, there are no worries. If you are a bit OCD, you can put the "crystals" in a large excess of water, let it sit for a few hours, and pour off the water. **Q: can it be used in outdoor pots that already have plants in them** A: Yes, you can use this in pots with plants in them. Make several holes in the soil (with a stick or pencil) evenly spaced around the plant (avoiding the root area) and incorporate Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals evenly into the holes. Cover the holes with soil and water thoroughly to activate the water storing properties. **Q: I want to add this product to all my landscaping during our CA drought. Can I sprinkle it over all my plants or do I have to dig up my entire garden?** A: No you can't sprinkle it on the ground. But you don't have to dig up your garden either. What you can do is dig some holes or area around each plant, getting as close as you can without damaging the plant roots. I usually do this for an established garden areas. I make the holes (3 for each plant) or digging areas close to plants as I can then put about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Then replace the dirt. After I've finished I water a bit to soak the dirt back into place.If you want to see what the Crystals look like when wet. Put about 1/4 tsp in a 2c measuring cup add about 1/2 of water. They get huge! Then you can just put this in the ground or planter with a plant.Hope this helps **Q: Does anyone know how long this stuff lasts in the soil? One season, 5 seasons?** A: According to literature it gradually deteriorates over a 2 to 3 year period turning into a harmless soil additive with a few nutrients. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Water Storing Crystals: The Secret Weapon in My Gardening Arsenal *by E***L on 31 May 2023* As an avid gardener who wholeheartedly relies on Miracle-Gro products for my gardening needs, I am thrilled to share my enthusiastic endorsement of Miracle-Gro Water Storing Crystals.
