Let’s talk soil chemistry and how amendments change or interact with our soils.

I love making videos and although I don’t get tons of views or have a pile of subscribers- the DMs, texts, etc. make it all worth it.

One of question I have for yall is - what are some topics that would like covered? Obviously, I can’t cover everything but if there is something you think I can help explain - I’d love to try!!

Ps. If you do like the content. Sharing and subscribing on all platforms helps!!

Have a safe and blessed holiday season.

I could use help with a small food plot that you can’t get Equiptment to….just a small lawnmower, leaf blower and no till stuff but it’s not doing real well. First couple months it’s green and attracts deer and turkeys but by hunting season it’s mostly weeds. I’m positive there’s something I should be doing to make it a great small plot but I just don’t have the experience. I’m sure there are plenty of Too’zers here that would also benefit from any advise you could give.

Thanks for the tips…I’m doing most of the stuff you suggested but there are a couple I’m going to add (like a better quality seed). I think my problem is one thing you mentioned that I didn’t think of…the bastard deer are eating it all and leaving only the less desirable stuff. I’m going to put up a small ring of fence to see just how bad.👍

you bet! That happens often! Even on large fields!! Be sure of the seeds your planting. Stay away from rye grass. Non cleaned seed. Etc. Cheap seed often ain’t good and good seed often isn’t cheap.

Diving a little into weeds here on types of lime and the soil chemistry behind fixing our soil structure.

Managing farms below carrying capacity….

Getting bucks to age 4+ and supplementing habitat work with top quality Vitalize Seed food plots - has allowed our deer weights to continue to increase year over year.

This is a clear indication of a healthy animal - although rack expression has also got better, I prefer to review weights as a whole for the herd vs. individual racks/score of a mature buck.

There are no secret’s to deer management but when we put a plan into action - you can see quality continue to increase both for the animals and habitat.

Checking the carbon load (used as a garden cover crop) today.

How many species you all see? The goal is to maximize root diversity as well as sunlight collection, above ground! We are making a photosynthetic engine - feeding the heck out of our soils!!

Pre orders are live! New this year - inside bag(see below)

Every order of Nitroboost comes with FREE Seed Armr+ seed inoculant (inside the bag this year)!

This helps with seed germination, and ensures that the correct biology is in the soil to maximize legume N fixation!

We know there are a lot of great options for seed - we appreciate you all thinking of us and considering Vitalize Seed as your go to food plot and cover crop seed source.

Happy Holidays and, Merry Christmas to all!

Al and Jared

Customer from Northern Michigan sent these to us today. “This is the best plot and most attractive plot we’ve ever had”.

We absolutely cannot thank our customers enough for this fantastic feedback!
