I'm need to kill grubs (under the grass). After spraying, do I need to irrigate to wash it further down into the soil to get to the grubs?

No , you do not need to irrigate after spraying. the product will seep into the ground.

I use mine dry, just sprinkle around the entire top of the soil and water in. This is the only thing that I have found that gets rid of the pesky gnats. I tried all the natural options, repotting and other chemical options and they didn't work. I have heard that the gnats lay their eggs on the roots of the plant. I am not sure how often to use. The bugs are usually gone after one application. If you still see some bugs in a couple of weeks, I would reapply.

No floor is required. In fact, if you had a floor (made of plywood, for example), you would likely trap water, so the bed wouldn't drain well. Many of your garden plants will require easily draining soil - they simply don't like "wet feet." You can use newspaper or cardboard as a weed barrier, or black barrier cloth sold at most nurseries (or Walmart). You can also use 'dynamic composting.' That's a process whereby you chop up kitchen veggie scraps and blend them directly into your soil. Folks who use that in my gardening club have had great results. And finally, mulch every year.

It kills everything, even grass. I add 1/4 dishwashing liquid and 2 TBS salt. Apply with a sprayer when the sun is out and it's hot.

I had luck keeping skunks away. As far as the grubs...I use Grub-X, or an alternate grub killer every year on my lawn. I haven't had a problem with skunks digging for grubs at all.

Yes! Spray entire lawn. I use product along slab as well. Lived in home for 5 yrs and NEVER has ant problems or hills on lawn.

The label doesn't say to soak first. I just mixed into the soil as per the instructions on the label.

BTW Adam, because you have a *fungus* gnat issue, you should probably water your herbs from the bottom until the situation clears itself up otherwise you will continue to have the issue. What part of the country do you live to have a fungus situation like that? Or maybe you're watering too much? Anywho, Put some plastic coasters under your plants (if they are in pots) or switch to a soaker line (if in a garden) to avoid the over watering gnats issue. When applying the DE use this: Pest Pistol Mini Duster. But remember, each time your DE gets wet, you will need to re-apply it that's why I suggested the two versions of watering.

Didn't do anPything other than apply as directed. Great stuff. We had a moderate infestation but not now. Put it out in all the spots where we had seen roachs. Within a day or so they were dying. Within a week all the big ones had died. Then for the next week or so we say numerous little ones that had hatched. Then they started dying off. Now a couple months later it is rare to see a roach. However I do intend to re-apply in all the places I had before. I will say this, in my 73 years this is absolutely the best roach killing product I have ever used. Use it as directed and it should work for you. It did for me. David Didn't do anPything other than apply as directed. Great stuff. We had a moderate infestation but not now.

No. Mine has a pretty heavy spray. It puts out quite a bit of water. I think it would be a waste for seeds, and at worst could wash them away if your soil is light.

I have sandy soil Myself and they seem to work just fine. You can trap them if You wanna let it become Your "full-time-job". I put "quality" alkaline batteries in and Mine have lasted up till I remove units in early Sept. I plant Mine about 2-3 inches beneath the soil surface and make "SURE" You make a map of where You've planted them. I'll write down for example on a piece of paper 5 feet west of tree and 5 feet south of that. Come Fall You can take a metal rod or screw driver and "prod" the soil till You hear a "clunk". Make sure You keep that "MAP" for Fall removal! My batteries last 4-5 months. These little critters seem to be more active in dry arid conditions I've noted in the past. The dryer the soil the deeper they need to dig for Grubs and nutrients! I've tried Castor Oil and every chemical known to Mankind and to date I'm pretty pleased with results....Don't expect overnight success cause it takes a few weeks before it starts to drive them "nuts". They will move on to another food source such as Your neighbors lawn!

It should kill all grubs! Which in turn will drive away all moles since they cannot feel on the grubs. Now is the time to spread the "Milky Spore Powder"!

Works to kill a number of pests on growth and in soil, just mix per directions. Spray or water

You are supposed to let seeds soak initially for a certain number of hours (approx 8-12 hrs depending on seed type). After soak to drain and rinse seeds. Most seeds require them to be rinsed and drained 2 times a day until they fully sprout. They should not be left in standing water and should be drained well after rinsing, so there should be no water left in the jar to drain out. There are some good youtube videos if you need further instruction. Hope this helps

Grass does not need to be completely killed. You do have to make sure you water the seeds according to directions and keep out as many weeds as possible.

You do have to drain the water. I think what it does is hept to germinate the wheat berries but you don't want them to sit in the water cause the wheat would go bad. I also only did this once a day. There are a bunch of "how to" videos about sprouting on YouTube.

A new variation adds dish detergent (1 to 2 Tbsp) to 1 gallon of 5% vinegar as a weed killer. Sprayed directly on weeds, the detergent (Dawn original, I have heard, but any brand should work, I think) allows the vinegar to stick to the leaves. Having not tried this, I wonder whether the stronger level of acid is necessary, at all. This does not work on the roots, however, so the way to kill the weed is to spray the next wave of leaves, thereby preventing photosynthesis, which creates the starch that the roots exchange for nutrients provided by the living organisms in the soil. I will be trying the 5% vinegar/detergent solution on that stubborn wad of broadleaf grass growing tall in a cinder block chamber, but after it stops raining here. I may revise my opinion about the advisability of 20% vinegar. Stay tuned. ANSWER: The vinegar will affect whatever it contacts, but if the detergent holds it to the weed, the bush roots might be safe. If the weed has broad leaves, I would suggest painting on the solution rather than hit-or-miss spraying. Again 20% may be overkill.
