Why should I put crystals in soil?
When mixed with soil they keep the moisture much longer and hence you don't need to water your plants that often. Crystals can be used for growing fruits and vegetables as well as they are completely safe. The pigmentation they contain is not released in the soil and cannot pass into the fruit or vegetable grown.
