i kind of doubt it will, because most carpet is like cotton-y or kind of soft, while astro turf is like a plastic

buuuuut it depends on what kind of carpet it is, it could work, no harm in trying it out

astro turf isn't that expensive though

Yes, carpet will work. If you have old carpet that you want to use, try it and see if it works. That's what I did and it ended up working. If you don't have old carpet laying around, get turf, it's way better. Except if you can't find turf (I ran into this problem) and want to try carpet, just remember the less fluffy it is, the better. In other words you want to use the hardest, skinniest stuff you can get.
