It is supposed to be rinsed to get any 'dust' or other particles out of it. I didn't 'soak' or 'rinse' it and didn't find it took too long for the water to clear.

The main reason is that it is so light weight dry it just floats out of the pot. Unfortunately it floats out of the pot completely soaked. I do not recommend this product. I have a whole bag of it you can have.

it can be used dry, however, it's a good idea to rinse it heavily to get the residue off of the media. If not there will be a film on your pond water that your filter will have to eliminate.

It is very light and dry and if you didn't soak it first it would probably float away. I didn't get that far, I didn't end up using it I dumped it out. I wouldn't recommend this product or buy it again. You are better off using dirt and covering it with pea gravel. For an outdoor fish pond anyway.

I believe it is only to get the dust particles out that may cloud your water a little, also some of the media might float a little until it absorbs some water.

It has to worked in to the soil. Gypsum is used to treat soil that has a lot of clay.

I washed it and used it without a filter right out of the box. The press itself filtered most of the grounds very well. Be careful of how much you grind your beans if you are using whole beans.

You don't need to have blue water coming out for this to be working. I've used one of these for years and it fertilizes fine with a dilute solution coming out. This puts down more water than if mixed in a bucket, but outside you have to put down more water than inside due to the evaporation and seepage into the surrounding soil. But it is fertilizing just fine. By shaking it, you will get a much less even application than just holding it level.

Yes, the soil should be wet and soft. I have used this device but for me it shows similar readings no matter what I test so I am not sure how accurate it is.

Leaving it in the soil will compromise the meter. It is not designed for that purpose.

I have done both. If you mix in soil before adding water, you will need to add a bit more water to the soil but you won't ave to water as often after that.

I dry the vehicle prior to clay treatment, because I want as clean of surface as possible prior to rubbing the abrasive against my paint. People interested in getting good results don't use "soapy water" as a lubricant. Most of the quick detailing products recommended for clay treatments aren't soapy. That being said, if you are hand washing with a microfiber mitt or similar and you are inside out of the sun then you probably could avoid drying, but be sure to rinse the vehicle first. If there is a chance those water beads could dry before you clay that section, I think you'd be making more work for yourself down the road.

You don't, the dirt is absorbed into the putty. As the other respondent says, over time the color changes due to this and eventually it becomes less effective and needs replacing. But you can use it hundreds of times before you need more.

Yes, for medium grit stones, please soak in water for 10-15 minutes before use.

The coverage rate of Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Garden Soil will vary depending on its use. This product is meant to be used as a soil conditioner; we recommend that it be roto-tilled or mixed with native or bagged soils; therefore, coverage will vary.

I've never soaked them. Instead, just before I'm ready to plant I get the beans wet then place them in a zip lock bag containing the inoculant, close the top. and shake the bag. The inoculant will then stick to the beans. Then just put the beans in the ground - enough inoculant will stick to each bean to provide good growth. If the inoculant is granular and doesn't stick easily, I grind it up.

Yes, it is definitely better to sprout by soaking/rinsing before planting, I've tried both ways and this one is the best one, enjoy!

You want to skip the Georgia clay. You want to use a good soil with materials to allow easy drainage, (sand, perlite etc) along with organic materials. A good bag plotting soil from a garden center. Because the soil is going to allow the water to flow thru, you will need to water often for best results. The cloth pots have worked great for me and I have ordered more.

Using even in a minimal amount is better than nothing. I have mixed some in water and used it that way, and I have broadcast it over soil. I also mixed it into the soil when prepping a new bed or pot. This man has several videos on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k41WK5z6mo

I used about 10 bags of 2 cubic feet. If you could find some cheap (but clean, uncontaminated) fill dirt, you could use less good quality soil on top.

Yes, it says on the package to wash and dry thoroughly. I would definitely clean the trapped dirt first because it really makes a mess once its wet.
