Abstract
A soil treating composition for mixing with water to form an aqueous solution for treating soil is characterized by including a synthetic latex material in a mixture including hydroxy ethyl cellulose, metal salts and powdered citric acid. For compacting earthen type soils, the mixture also includes fermented wort, non-ionic surfactants and vanilla extract. For erosion control, the fermented wort, non-ionic surfactants and vanilla extract are not essential.
