Glad to see you are putting some biochar in the lawn. It’s probably the most beneficial thing you can do. A few treatments a year over the next 2-3 years will set you up for decades of healthier lawn

[@RonHenry]

I'm happy with it Russell. I've been applying it monthly this year to really build it up in the soil. I'm already seeing benefits with how the lawn is doing well in all this heat. 95% of the lawn is still a vibrant green. It's not too expensive either. Love the product. 😎👍

[@russellfowler8186]

Ron Henry I started using it this year myself, I have noticed a big difference with water retention. It has been extremely hot up here in CT so far this summer and I haven’t had to water nearly as much as I did last year. The lawn has also been a much deeper green. I’m also glad to see the channel growing, keep up the great work!

[@TheWalkerjrc]

I too use the Lesco Carbon pro G. I do 3 applications in my grass season in SC. I did my soil test last week and could see it in my samples. I also bought the Miramichi granular and it did clog last year. I had to hand spread it (like feeding chickens) Then I found Site One version.

[@RonHenry]

Mirimichi Green makes Carbon Pro G for Lesco. You were probably using CarbonizPN in a broadcast spreader which doesn’t work. This is the newer version of carbon pro g that is a granular. Spreads very well. Essential G golfcourselawn.store/products/essential-g%E2%84%A2-granular-carbon-free-shipping

Ron, this looks like a good alternative to the Carbon Earth XSoil (very similar) and the Andersons BioChar DG which is simply BioChar without the preloaded compost component. I love that the carbon products will promote the soil and the lawn health long term and actually reduce the fertilizer retirement over time. Keep up the good work Ron, I'm hooked to your videos.

Thanks so much JR Barden. I really appreciate you watching the content. I agree that CarbonPro is a great product at a more reasonable price. I'm with you on the use of carbon products.

Good idea Adam. Unless you really want to, there's not a ton of reason to hold back on the CarbonPro G. It takes 3 - 4 weeks for the biochar to integrate with the soil and move pH, so the sooner you get it down the better. Thanks for watching the content sir. I appreciate it.

Mr. Henry, Yet another great video .......BUT for a newbie like myself I have to admit that I am confused slightly. Here is what I mean. I have followed the feeding and maintenance calendar from your website religiously and have gotten awesome results in my first year. No joke, I have the best lawn in the entire community. People ride, walk, and drive by all the time to see it, compliment the lawn, and ask for tips. My issue is, I have seen you do a number of new videos this year such as the one above on CarbonPro G, you have mentioned bio char, plant growth regulator, and recently spot top dressing with sand only. I do not know where and when these things fit into the cycle of lawn care as spelled out by your calendar. It would be helpful to me if in your videos or on your website, you consider adding/updating these types of items to your program. I realize that some of it may be lawn specific and specific to geography. Sorry to be so long but I hope this helps others also...........Queron #coming@yaforbestlawn

[@RonHenry]

Glad to hear that you're getting good results from the calendar on the website Queron. I need to update it later this year to reflect new knowledge and techniques. This year I've been doing a lot of testing to find out what works and what doesn't. I want to ensure that whatever I have on the website is safe and produces results with minimal financial outlay. Thanks for bringing this up. Made my evening to know that you have the best lawn in the neighborhood thanks to your consistent hard work. Glad that the tips on the website and video were helpful. 😎👍

Hi na1du. In a subsequent video (on Alex's lawn) we did get a tad bit of clumping in on bag of the product that we left in the spreader for a while when we were figuring out how to film. When you say seeing it dissolve, you want to see a few prills dropped into a cup of water and seeing what happens?

Great share. I’ve been pretty much on the CarbonEarth train of products but I like how you’re providing alternatives that most can locally source (through a site-one or landscape supply). I’m noticing most companies provide pretty much similar offerings and combinations just a matter of preferences and budget considerations. I’ve been leery of even getting within a few zip codes of my site-one cause it’s not gonna be pretty if I do. Hahahaha

[@RonHenry]

Thanks Frankie! I think the product represents good value for money considering that many carbon products go for $50+ per bag for similar coverage. CarbonPro G goes for $35 per bag at your local SiteOne. I totally get what you mean about not going there too often. It's often expensive for me. I need a wing man when I goto SiteOne. 😂👍

Love seeing more soil based products. Wondering though it you will see drastically better results than a traditional Scotts 3 to 4 fertilizer apps per year.

[@RonHenry]

That's a tough one to measure Richard. I can definitely say the color of my lawn this year has been much better since adding the carbon products. Now would I get the exact same results using just the Scott's products? I'm not sure. I've never really done that so I can't say. 3 - 4 fertilizer apps per year is unlikely to be enough for my lawn though. Given the low height of cut, I think the lawn would suffer without getting enough nitrogen.

Great video! You mention the benefits to bermuda and zoysia grass lawns. I am from the Midwest where residential lawns are typically Fine Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Perennial Ryegrass. Does the product benefit these grass types in the same manner? Any differences I would need to consider? Also I typically aerate in the fall close to last cut for the season. Is this OK or is it better to do in the spring? THANKS!

[@RonHenry]

Hi T Richard. Yep! It absolutely will benefit cool season grass as well. CarbonPro G improves the health of the soil which is important regardless of your grass type. For cool season grass, aerating in the fall is more the right time since that's when your growth is really going to take off. You could do it in the spring, but that's usually when the grass is about to start seeing stress and summer heat comes in. Given the choice, I would aerate now. This is assuming a cool season grass. If you have a warm season grass like Bermuda or Zoysia, late spring to early summer is when you'd want to aerate. Hope this helps.

Hey Ron, I put down Carbon Pro G. at a rate of 10 lbs/1k, since it's my first application of Carbon. I was expecting to see a nice green up, like yours. A week later it has A LOT of yellow throughout the turf. It looks very stressed. Not sure what happened. It spread nicely ~ no clumping. A week prior to that I put down Weed Stop and a week before that, I put down PGR and Simple Lawn solutions. Could that have messed with the Carbon Pro G? It's not happy about something!! 🤷‍♀️ I'm trying to figure it out so I don't do that again! Thanks for another informative video. Your lawn couldn't look better.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Sheril. I think the yellowing you're seeing is probably from the Weed Stop and the fact that the lawn also had PGR applied a few days prior to that. The yellowing isn't due to the Carbon Pro G. That's the herbicide in the Weed Stop product. The yellowing will be temporary. That's the thing with herbicides. Even though they're "safe" for your particular grass type, what that really means is they won't kill it. There's often slight temporary yellowing though. It will bounce back. The lawn bounce back. Keep me posted on how it's doing say a week from now?

How often should this be put down?

[@RonHenry]

Hi John. As often as your budget allows. It's difficult to have too much of it. I've been applying monthly.

[@jameyhaz]

when is the optimal time to apply this?? How much is TOO much to apply? I purchased 6 bags for 6000sq/ft. I purchased a lot because it the location is a bit of a drive. Thanks!

[@RonHenry]

Hi Jamey. It's unlikely that you'll apply too much at one time. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 lbs over 1000 square feet would be too much. Most people will never get there. If you're trying to really build up compost and biochar in the lawn, apply 3 bags over 6000 square feet the first time. You can back it down to 1 bag per 1k if you're really looking to stretch it out. As an aside, the new version of the product is available online here: golfcourselawn.store/products/essential-g%E2%84%A2-granular-carbon-free-shipping. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

[@jameyhaz]

@@RonHenry super fast reply!!! thanks so much!!! Keep up the good work! I tune in Friday nights as much as I can. SOMETIMES, even my WIFE says "hey! put on Ron...." :)

[@jameyhaz]

Is now a good time to apply, or wait to the start of the growing season?

[@RonHenry]

@@jameyhaz I appreciate it Jamey! If the ground isn't frozen where you are, I would apply now. It takes a few weeks for the compost and biochar to work down into the soil, so the sooner you start, the better. Glad you guys enjoy the live stream. I have fun with it. :-)

[@greenuplawnworks2407]

By the way... The Mirimichi Green version has two versions. The one you showed in your video is the “soil” version. The other has a blue trim around it and that’s the “granular” version.

[@RonHenry]

I didn't realize there were 2 versions of CarbonizPN. I've only seen the green label version around here. I'll have to check with Site One to see if they can get the granular version.

[@whitelion6s459]

I got a echo RB-60 spreder. What setting I need to set it?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Saul. I haven't been able to find a spreader conversion for the RB-60 as yet. Initially you'll want to apply it at 10lbs per 1000 square feet which will give you 4k feet of coverage per bag. On most spreaders you need to open it up pretty wide to get the product to flow well. Sorry I don't have a specific number for you.

[@whitelion6s459]

Ok great, thank you brother.

[@bobbyjackson1045]

Do i need to water this in ? I just put 3 bags down on 1600 sqf i know overkill lol. Thanks

[@RonHenry]

No need to water in. Can just wait for it to rain. You can't go too heavy. You could have put 10 bags down on 1600 square feet if you wanted. Won't hurt anything.

Have you used carboniz pn? From their site: This LESCO branded product is powered by the same Mirimichi Green CarboMatrix technology used in CarbonizPN™ Soil Enhancer and contains the same premium compost and biochar blend with an added microbial package....” I wonder why the application rates are so different... have you looked into that? 5-10lbs vs 20-80lbs...Keep it up love the videos.

[@RonHenry]

I’m not sure about that Tom K. It’s a good observation. I’ll have to call Site One and ask them. I’m curious about that now too. 🧐👍 Thanks for watching the content.

[@adammosley6336]

Hey Ron! Any idea what the average cost per bag of the.CarbonPro G is? I have been using the Anderson’s HumiChar since late February. It’s a granular mixture of Humic Acid and Biochar. Curious to see how the price of CarbonPro G compares to that of HumiChar. I am paying about $85 for a 40 lb. bag and that seems to last me for a few applications as I only have around 6700 sq. feet to cover.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Adam. Figure $35 per back for Carbon Pro G. The product is half compost and half biochar with a splash of humic acid thrown in. You could more than double the amount of product you're buying for the price you're paying for the Anderson's product. Not saying it's not good, but $85 for a 40lb bag seems a bit steep?

[@eudessantana135]

Those products is not sold at Home Depot or Lowe’s right? I live in Kennesaw, I don’t know any landscape stores in my area.

Ron, what is the application rate for Carbon Pro G using a Scott’s Elite spreader?

[@RonHenry]

Hi hubert. I would start at 5 and then open it up a bit more as needed. CarbonPro-G won't burn your lawn so you're not hurting anything if you put it down a touch heavy. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

[@RonHenry]

No idea really. It disappeared from being visible a couple days after application. I imagine how long it takes to work down into the root zone would be based on how much rain and heat you get so that the prills break down.
