Is it just me, or is it a real pain getting the conditions right,
especially for the powders?

Not too dry, not raining, but rain soon enough to wash it in, not
within 4 days either side of cutting, calm enough that it doesn't
blow across the garden...

You missed out ground wet but grass dry. If I'm ever asked, I always
recommend liquid products as they are virtually impossible to overdose
and a lot safer when pets and children are around as once dry there's
no risk.
