I picked up a few bags of this new Lesco CarbonPro-G product to test out.

It is an exciting product in my book.
Pretty cool having a product I invented ( Breakthru agitator, aka Permagreen agitator being promoted on the label of the CarbonPro-G product.*aussieflag*

I did a test out one bag in one of my Permagreen Triumphs that has a Permagreen agitator in it today. I put about 1/2 the bag in the hopper to do about 3,500 sqft area. The material flowed good until a cone appeared down to the agitator, that was on a smooth turf surface, holes open all the way.
Second test
Put rest of bag and put holes open just over half #18 key hole setting.
On a bumpy surface, turf are that had some roots, the cone started to form but kept filling in with each bump from the roots. I do run my front tires soft on my permagreen triumphs soft and not hard for more traction and a smoother ride, so that is probably another reason I got a cone on fairly flat turf area.
Tomorrow I may do a test on the lesco spreader with the other bag. It should have good flow but a cone will probably form so some occasional bouncing will probably be needed to fill in the cone that appears.
The product is not dusty wich is great but is a little too damp and cakey. From what I see, if they dry the product a little from what it is the cone should not form and will not be dusty
I think this CarbonPro-G product will be great to apply right after a core areation or even after core aeration and seeding.
This should fix cakey cone isue.
I will try mixing half of this CorbonPro-G product and half Grass seed. I bet it will make it so a cone will not form and the product will flow great.
Full bag label.
