Hydroponic Polymer, called Hydrokeeper...?

No, you would be adding more air and porosity to the soil with perlite more air would mean less water in the soil.

Perlite can hold water, but its not used for that. Hydrogel can hold way more water than perlite.

If you have water issues, I would use a mulch to prevent evaporation first. Microbes, and cation exchange in my opinion works better when the soil is properly irrigated.

i couldnt of said it better myself! also after youve had a healthy soil for a while the microbes hold onto water better then any gel you can buy! and bigger beds also help.
