Two mature trees are unfortunately in the path of sprinklers. Will this prevent bark soaking?

I don't believe it will. The wrap is paper based and while it holds up to the weather, the constant barrage of sprinkler water would be tough for the wrap to handle. I would suggest some kind of plastic based wrap.

The wrap is 2 layers of crepe type paper with a layer of tar like material in the middle. The wrap will get wet but only I think on the outside. I use it only after my sprinklers are turned off and blown out. I do not think you need it on mature trees only on young(3 years and younger) here in Colorado.Also you only need it on smooth barked trees.

Well the down spout feeds it rain water. Mine tend to stay full from the rain off the roof. I suggest that you figure some way to connect it to the down spout and use a hose, it has a tap on the bottom. I water my figs with one and herb garden with the other. Rain chains from the spouts help keep it full. You can buy mosquito control coils to put in the water that will kill the larve. They work well in standing water areas.

I dont have a sprinkler system. When the solar cells get wet from rain they can get water logged and it seems to effect the connection to the light. Shaking the water out has so far always corrected the issue.

I sprayed mine not just on my roof, but directly onto a brick patio that is surrounded by roses, shrubs, and grass, and have had no problems with it affecting any of my plants when it rained. (You will actually see it foam/bubble the first couple of rains after you spray it down). My shrubs that sit just under the roof area that I sprayed were also unaffected.

I have best luck with normal top watering until the water runs through and out of the pot. Soaking sometimes makes the dirt run off. Bonsais like lots of water and sun. The small junipers dry out quickly so water very frequently.

No, it will not harm the tree, just do not get spray on the tree, the bark or exposed/ surface roots.

Sorry, I can't help you with this one. You're best bet is to go with Sprinkler Supply, they are very helpful. Jim

No need to soak..If you have the correct mixture...Contact with leaves will be enough

Not sure. It partially depends on your hose. If I were doing that, I'd use something like extra long, wire twist ties (the kind you get when buying some types of fresh vegetables) and tie the sprinkler down to the plant stand to keep it in place. That may or may not be possible with your stand...

I have two trees, one is located in partial shade another in full sun. The tree located in full sun is growing much faster. The tree located in partial sun is also a few months older. Both have been water at the same time.

The light seals into the housing tightly. I have had mine rained on many times with no issues, I am not sure about sprinklers if the water comes from an upward angle but I think everything would be fine.

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.

I don't think so ...........there are natural anti fungal defenses in a living tree that would fight the spoors. It is best to use a newly cut branch that has been aged a few weeks.

Sad to say pine needles do clog the gutter brush and clog the water flow. the brushes must be taken out and shaken.Acorns and leaves to not penetrate the brushes.

I would trust the back battery holder to stand up to the rain, but I'm not sure about the front part. I left a nice Petzl on the lawn and the sprinklers rendered it useless. I would call the company.

the plastic is probably water proof. you would not want this to get wet because there are holes on the top cover under the plant. you could find something to cover the holes.

I set mine beneath the gutter on my patio cover, removed the downspout part of the gutter, added a rain chain to extend from the opening in the gutter down to the barrel, placed a fish weight on the end of the chain where it meets the barrel top (to keep the chain from shifting around with the wind or force of the falling water) and then I enjoy watching the rain travel right down the chain into the barrel. I did not make any holes in the barrel screen. There may be some splatter in a hard rain and when the barrel is full, but it is not really a problem.
