Does this need to sit on the lawn for any amount of time before a rainfall? We are having daily rainfall and I don't want to waste it.

Don't use it during heavy rainfall. The moisture will distribute it deep into the soil in a diluted state. Where as a light rain might actually enhance its effectiveness by evenly delivering it to the roots of your plants.

While really a question for Natural Industries my experience with the product would indicate that it needs to be absorbed into the soil and root area to work well. That given some rain after application might be a positive thing. I use on flowers and vegetables via foliar spray and as a soil drench. Excessive rain may be a problem - balance for me is the answer.

I'm fairly certain a few hours of contact prior to any rain would be very effective. The rain will carry some of the product into the ground where it does even more [phytophthora and other types of crown rot and root rot] The best use of Actinovate is in the occasional application for the prevention of future attacks of fungus.

Yes, you can sit under it in the rain and not get wet(unless the wind is blowing....lol)!

I would say yes. There is a lid, that fits on the top. You could put a plant in it, or leave the lid off. Rain water would naturally fall into the barrel, if the lid isn't on. There is no reason that you have to keep the lid on except to appearance. It has a faucet or a short hose that you can use to drain the water out when needed. I really like mine.

The lawn lasted 2 weeks green, but the temperature is so hot in my area. It would last longer in a cooler climate. You do need to water it but not much, it's small just need a watering can. I loved it, need to get more.

Yes, but you will need a soft spot, or you are likely to damage the two pongs. The catch is a soft spot will either be mud, or very sandy, which won't tell you what the rest of the lawn moisture level is properly. If your soil is mostly sand and the prongs will pass into it easily, the lawn will drain quickly in a few hours. Fast drainage will indicate a dry soil in three to four hours on a hot and sunny day.

Yes to both of your questions! It also has a feature called cycle and soak, which will divide your total run time up into smaller cycles, giving the soil time to absorb. A great feature for getting the most watering out of your water restriction days. Since you are only running two or three days a week, you'll just set your run times higher then you would if you were running every day. That way when the software adjusts down for weather, it's not decreasing your watering too much. We love ours so much!

If you water on a regular basis, the soil will stay moist for days. No worries if you are gone for a day or two.

Not Really. It will keep the rain off for a while but then it eventually leaks.

Not sure, I never had the reason to be init when it was raining. I use it as a change room beside my pool. However it drys very fast.

After I use it, I leave it out on the deck rail or well extended on the grass until next day. I will suggest to turn it the other side, if necessary. I have packed this slide and take it to a family farm for the children and friends to enjoy. It dries fairly quick when is sunny. Plan to do the same this year.

We recommend indirect sunlight as too much sun can burn or dry the grass out too much. Many people keep their grass indoors or in a garage with no issues, so it should be fine! Just lightly spritzing it with water every 1-2 days will be enough!

Yes. That's what I did, and it worked fine. I have no sprinkler system in my yards. Applying before rain works just as well.

First check the grade of the area and the area surrounding the spot in question. Essentially which way will a tennis ball roll. Thats where the water will run with rain and sprinklers. If its its path you will ruin good lawn. If it doesn't by all means just keep a 6" spread from your lawn. That should be fine even if sprayed liberally.

No. It does not need watered. It needs to be mulched as you go so it doesn't blow away or weighted.

no need to water - the ground underneath will retain moisture. After I laid mine down dry, it rained and I went to plant my seeds the next day after things had dried. It was nice and wet under the weedblocker :) I did find that this didn't cover quite as much area as I anticipated. You might want to order 2 if you're using it on a larger area

Go dry... But if it rains on it than its no biggie.. This stuff works great and I was overly impressed. Probably any weather besides windy lol

No it does not. If you over water it maybe but normal watering or rain is just fine!
