Do I apply the product on the outside of the planters only, or should I also apply the product on the inside part of the containers?

We have applied it to all the wood, in two coats, with a 24 hr drying period between coats. The insides are subject to consistent moisture via the dirt, so we believed it necessary. This was one of the reasons we chose this product.

We purchased this product because it is food contact safe and applied it to all sides of the wood to seal it for maximum protection.

Cover every surface inside, outside, under....etc.if you want uniform protection.

All of the wood should be treated. Then let it sit 24-48 hours and you're in business!! Love this stuff...

I used it on both the inside and out. Because it is going on wood that is not sealed expect to use most of the can for one planter.

It's water activated, it should be applied dry to facilitate the ease of spreading then watered in by self watering or mother nature, the problem if you were to apply it in the rain with a spreader it would get gummed up and clogged, the granules are very fine almost sand like.

1/3-2/3 tsp/gallon. The lower amount for prevention and the hgher amount to treat. You can enhance lasting action by making sure the pH of the water in your sprayer is about 5.0 Brandt makes a useful product for this (Brandt Indicate 5) which I believe also incorporates a spreader sticker. Most important is the varying susceptibility of plants to mildew. You really only needs to spray when you have moist cold nights, usually in the fall but start before you see the mildew! Really effective if directions are followed. I use phlox, which is very susceptible to powdery mildew as an indicator plant. As soon as it appears there spraying should be started weekly. 1/3-2/3 tsp/gallon. The lower amount for prevention and the hgher amount to treat.

Hi there. It depends on what you are planting it in. For a container, use Potting Mix. For in ground, use Garden Soil. I would recommend using a Miracle-Gro Moisture Control soil (potting or garden soil) because the trees are thirsty and soak up the water like crazy. A Moisture Control soil will help retain the moisture longer in between waterings. If you want to be really fancy, there is a Miracle-Gro Soil for Palm, Cactus, and Citrus that has some of the special nutrients to help fruit trees grow. I just used a regular Moisture Control Potting Mix for my container plant.

I use it inside, I think it is described as outdoor because there are drain holes in the shelving. I wouldn't use it indoors if you don't have something under the plants to catch excess drainage from watering.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

It would be better to use pots or long planters. I use pots and works very well.

The packaging states that the product is for use in container gardens or hydrogardening applications. My belief is that this is because the product changes the Ph of the water or soil to which it is added. If I add much of this to a hydro reservoir, I must then adjust the Ph and this might be challenging if we are talking about the soil in your yard. If Ph isn't a concern, I would think this product would be safe to use on outside ornamentals.

The potting mix is formulated to absorb and release water as your container plant needs it. The soil will provide moisture to the plant, even when it is not watered as regularly as it might be.

If you use the planters full height, the soil you add to it will smother the grass; you don't need to put any liner under it. In fact, you don't want to, so the plants can grow as deep as they want. However, if the soil the grass is in is heavily compacted, it would not be a bad idea to loosen it up a bit. I actually made 6 planters out of 3 by cutting the vertical posts in half; but I tilled up the soil where I was setting the planters down about a foot. Since mine are not very high off the ground, I get grass growing in them just from being near the lawn; along with the usual weeds. You should not have that problem if you keep them at full height.

Yes, it's for in-house plants, vegetables, even medical marijuana and many other plants that are grown in containers. Also the old used Pro-Mix is a excellent soil conditioner for outdoor flower beds and the backyard garden so nothing is wasted.

I applied it to the inside of the window. But I guess you can apply it to the outside too

I do one application before tilling and planting, and if the plants show any bad signs upon sprouting, after 3rd or 4th leaves, I may do another application. Hope that helps!

Nope you want to apply after the plant has received its daily watering. Just a light spray, be sure and start on the inside of the plant and work out. (start at the main stem and work out. Is crucial to cover every bit or nothing at all.

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 use it around pecans trees. I use the label on container to measure the amount and then spread on the drip line of the trees.

You would use 1 tsp. to 1 tbls. of seeds per tray, depending on the size of the seeds. I rinse the appropriate amount of seeds, soak for 12 hrs or overnight, rinse again, then spread evenly in each tray.
