The answer is and always has been...powdered water. Not well known due to the ceaseless efforts of the water companies to keep it from public knowledge so that they can keep on selling fully hydrated water to unknowing and unsuspecting consumers.But at less than 1.5% of the weight of actual water it ships easily and quickly, stores well (as long as you order the thermo-boxes to shield it from unnecessary humidity which can have detrimental effects) and keeps nearly forever. Translates well into lawn usage too: sprinkling about 3 lbs per thousand sq. ft. of lawn at dusk guarantees that even a moderate dew will cause gradual hydration overnight, giving the lawn a slow soak which is ideal for keeping lawns green.
Powdered water's companion product, HydraSlush, is overhyped and quite messy to work with. Plus, not nearly as economical. I'd advise not to be tempted by the lower price. Not worth the hassle.
