DIRECTIONS FOR USING Sasté-Sail 
“BIR CONDITIONS” YOUR SOIL 
Your soil is nature’s own storehouse where 
food and moisture are gradually released as 
needed to the roots of your plants. Just as a 
good warehouse protects its contents against 
the elements, Sani-Soil shields the root zones 
against sudden changes of temperature and the 
baking effects of the blazing sun. By keeping 
the soil properly ‘’air conditioned” or aerated, 
Sani-Soil also aids nature’s processes of sup- 
plying plant nutrition from the air and moisture 
as well as from the soil. Thus Sani-Soil acts as 
a soil insulator, preserving moisture and culti- 
vation, allowing the root systems to breathe 
and plant foods to function at their best. 
CUTS WATER BILLS 
Sani-Soil, being practically non-absorbent 
when used as a surface mulch, permits all 
water to filter into the soil without retaining 
any itself. Mixed with the top soil or packed 
lightly around root areas, Sani-Soil performs the 
same function for plants as the bark it comes 
from does for the redwoods, which maintain 
luxurious growth hundreds of feet above their 
water supply throughout the long, hot seasons 
of California. It forms a perfect insulation 
against excessive heat which steals the mois- 
ture and bakes the soil. Some users have re- 
ported cutting their water bills as much as 50 
per cent, one nursery reporting a saving of over 
$600 on their water in a single year. In addi- 
tion to saving on water, Sani-Soil saves work 
by cutting the frequency of waterings. It also 
protects the tender roots from becoming exposed 
by the force of the water.

VEGETABLES 
The home gardener cannot choose his soil. 
He has to make the best of what is available. 
While it is impossible for him to modify the 
texture of the soil, he can and if he wants to be 
successful, he must control the soil structure by 
giving the soil the utmost care. The structure 
will be improved by working into the top soil a 
l-inch layer of Sani-Soil. This will loosen the 
soil, water will have easier access to the root 
system, furthering the aeration of the soil and 
increasing the activity of beneficial bacteria. 
Use any organic fertilizer if available. Soils 
thus prepared are ready for any seeding or 
planting. 
STRAWBERRIES 
Sani-Soil furnishes an ideal mulch for straw- 
berry beds. Mixed in the soil it will increase 
the acidity which most berries need. The water 
holding capacity of the soil will be improved. 
A 2-inch surface mulch of Sani-Soil spread be- 
tween the plants will retard weed growth, re- 
duce evaporation, and prevent the soil from 
caking in dry weather. It will also keep the 
ripening berries clean by keeping them off the 
ground. 
SHRUBS 
Packing an inch or two of Sani-Soil around 
the root area of young shrubs or fruit trees 
keeps the soil moist and mellow and gives pro- 
tection against excessive heat and cold. 
SEED CULTURE IN FLATS 
Use a mixture of one-third Sani-Soil together 
with two-thirds leafmold or whatever prepared 
soil is available. After sowing, use a fine fly 
screen (window screen will do) and give the 
entire surface a fine dusting with Sani-Soil. 
Care must be taken that this dusting is not too 
heavy. A 1/64 of an inch is sufficient. Water 
as needed. 
BULBS 
Mulch a sufficient amount of Sani-Soil into the 
top soil. Plant bulbs and cover with a 2-inch 
layer of Sani-Soil. As it does not hold moisture 
by itself, Sani-Soil makes an ideal dry “bed” 
in which to put your bulbs to sleep when stored 
away during the dormant season. 
NEW LAWNS ONLY 
When preparing the soil for seeding spread 
approximately a Y2-inch layer of Sani-Soil over 
the entire surface and work thoroughly into the 
top layer. Smooth and roll soil; seed as usual. 
After seeding sift a very fine layer of Sani-Soil 
over entire area. As green seed germinates 
and breaks through surface, increase the dust- 
ing with Sani-Soil until it reaches a thickness 
of about % of an inch. This will reduce the 
need of watering considerably. 
PANSIES 
Pansies prefer loose, friable soil. Sani-Soil 
will be a welcome addition to any type soil 
where pansies are planted. Care has to be 
taken that the roots are kept cool and the soil 
is not exposed to intensive heat. A 2-inch layer 
of Sani-Soil around each plant will be of great 
help to keep the soil temperature uniform. 
Water as needed. 
PERENNIAL BEDS 
For perennial beds care must be taken that 
the soil is thoroughly prepared and good drain- 
age provided. Use at least a 2-inch layer of 
well rotted manure and a 2-inch layer of Sani- 
Soil and dig this into the soil to at least a depth 
of 1 foot. A well prepared soil will save work 
later. After setting out the plants keep a 2- 
inch spread of Sani-Soil between plants. This 
will eliminate weeding, conserve water, and 
prevent the soil from caking up.
