Prevents the majority of air evaporation and keeps tree properly moist. Just add a touch more water every so often.
hehehe... I remember doing that in the 80's LOL, worked really good. I won't buy anything living with such a finite lifespan like that anymore, not fiscally responsible. But the diaper trick was always a timesaver and made it stay green way longer, man the wonders of sodium polyacrylate never cease to amaze me.
