Best lawn soil conditioner questions.

Post by Rkolarich15 » October 24th, 2022, 11:37 am

I hit the links for the sodium Laureth sulfate and it is $50 for 16 ounces. The yucca extract at kelp4less is $95 for 16 ounces. Does anyone know where I could get these products for a cheaper price? Or can anyone recommend a good soil surfactant/ wetting agent? Brambleberry does have Sodium Lauryl sulfoacetate for a good price but I didn’t know if that is the same thing as sodium laureth sulfate.

Last time I ordered SLS from here. It cost me $38 for 5lbs including shipping. I still have plenty left.

Thank you so much, that is much better. At T&J enterprise this is what they offer for the yucca extract. Is this the right stuff?

The yucca isn’t necessary, I skip it due to the cost

I bought liquid SLS from the above listed company. I haven't even made a soil conditioner yet. I just use the SOS alone currently...about 1/3 oz per thousand square feet as a wetting agent. I know I'm paying for water, but I'd rather not deal with the powder.
