Mixing, loading, and application procedures for ProGanics® Biotic Soil Media (BSM) support use in hydro-spraying equipment. ProGanics is mixed at 75 or 100 pounds per 100 gallons of water, with low density materials, fertilizer, and seed added in a specific sequence to ensure proper hydration and viscosity. The guidance emphasizes measuring and staking areas, applying from opposing directions for uniform soil coverage, and minimizing disturbance before installing hydraulic or rolled erosion control products. A loading chart and application rate table help match tank size, pump type, and soil organic matter levels to recommended ProGanics coverage rates.
Key Points
- Mixed at 75 or 100 pounds per 100 gallons of water, depending on hydro-spraying equipment and pump type.
- Step-by-step loading sequence includes pre-wetting lines, adding low density materials first, loading ProGanics before the tank is 75% full, then adding fertilizer and other high density materials.
- Applied with appropriate nozzles from opposing directions for maximum and uniform soil surface coverage, with minimal disturbance before installing hydraulic or rolled erosion control products such as Flexterra® HP-FGM®, ProMatrix® EFM™, or RECPs.
- Application rates range from 3,500 to 5,000 lb/ac (3,920 to 5,600 kg/ha) based on soil test organic matter content.
