If I put this down for a new lawn in the spring, what are the water requirements? How long before it can be walked on?

Depends on temperatureI planted this in Alaska & kept it damp for at least 2 weeks until it germinated. It is SLOW growing as advertised .

I used the Ecology mix last spring....it germinated in about a week. I recall watering about twice a day for around 20 mins. As far as walking on it, maybe a couple of weeks, although the straw gives it some protection. I've not got a green thumb but it worked out pretty well. Mowed the grass every 2-3 weeks after it was established. I

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

my property is not flat either and it works great. The grade of the land won't have much affect. The sprinkler is quite heavy and has some pretty good teeth on the wheels. What will have more impact is the amount of hose it starts to drag behind after a couple hours.

It should do fine in your area, has grown well here in north Fl. Water lightly daily for the first week, after that only needs water when you see it turing gray. best time to plant would be after the danger of frost is over. After established the cold will not hurt it. You should see good growth by the end of the first week. Wait till its about six or seven inches tall to mow the first time, after that you can mow as desired.

We took it down very quickly--it took about an hour to drain on its own, then it still had a tiny bit of water, which we had to get out (5 minutes), then we just flattened it out, rolled it up and put it in a big garbage bag until next year. We put a little fold out shelter over ours (we're in FL and it's super hot and sunny) and had a great time with it for about 2.5-3 months last summer. This year, my wife (115lbs) did it by herself one afternoon when I had the kids and she was doing other things around the house.

Before we filled this with plants, we put it outside with the plugs left in. It rained, and it did hold water. I didn't check to see if it leaked, though. If I planned on using it indoors, I'd probably put a tray under it to catch drips. Indoor plants need proper drainage, too.

I have walked on moderate gravel(gravel under 1/2 inch in diameter) and week old-long grass(2 to 3 inch long). I live in Tacoma, Wa; and have been about in heavy rain where there has been a quarter inch of standing water. The bottom of the cane is "bell" shaped with four studs at the four corners, and it is very stable.

It would probably be okay outside. I wouldnt want it on the lawn though - you should have it on a harder more stable surface. But otherwise - I would think outside would be fine. However for long term durability - I'd recommend this though only for inside ... maybe get a little tikes set for outside?

It's not rain tight and it has a fan. I would recommend having it inside some sort of building and splicing into the line going out to the pond.

I wouldn't. The heat may cause it to fail faster as it is entirely plastic. It's really for light yard usage. I've only used it for cold water but had to replace twice so far. Granted, that was under heavy use but the material is not made for anything more than what a weekend gardener uses.

Yep, it should be just fine outside. Very easy to rinse off with water hose too. Just hang to dry.

I would agree it will be at least 1000ppm if incoming water is 250ppm. Plants would probably not mind but your soil will get heavy in minerals. It is not that much water in any case.

The one I bought is only 10 feet long and I bought it because it is safe to drink from and I need to fill large pots to boil water outside. I think you can get something less expensive and longer for your lawn.

im in California and its pretty dry at this time. id say a lite rain you'd be ok and i know there's some rain proffer you can get. that may help. but any thing heavier than the mist from your water hose you may want to up grade

Within 3 hours it's water proof within 15 mins, if it happens to rain after you spray that will help it seep down to the root faster to kill that entire weed faster

Water will drain, but sand will also come through as it's not a really tight weave. It would be great on the grass. Hope that helps.

Not sure I fully understand the question...what do you mean without being planted? It will sit upright on a flat surface, be it a deck or whatever, whether around a tree or not. It will blow away in a strong wind once the water drains out if it isn't around a tree.
