Soil health isn’t just for food plots. 
At Vitalize Seed, we build biology first — from turf to gardens, row crops to wildlife plots.
The 1-2 System™ drives year-round soil health
Foliar sprays (Bio-Charge™, REGEN-N™, Revive RX™) = stress-free nutrition
Seed treatments (Seed Feed™, Seed Armr+™, Spectrum+Myco™) = strong starts
Soil builders (No-Till Nurture™, CORE Micros™) = long-term fertility
No synthetics. Minimal outside inputs. Just healthy soils that work for YOU.

When to Save a Plot Due to Drought
Drought can break a season in a hurry. You watch seedlings emerge, only to see them stall or fade under relentless heat and dry conditions. It leaves many growers asking: Should I scrap this plot and start over, or can I save it? At Vitalize Seed, we believe there is often more resilience in...

Super excited to share this blog. I look foward to doing a lot more blogs and tests like this, to then share the results.
Cover Crops vs. Nutrient Stratification: A 3-Year Soil Health Comparis
Background We compared two adjacent no-till sites that have been managed differently for the past 3 years: Area A (Managed): Vitalize Seed system with Carbon Load, NitroBoost, Vitalize Foliars, and Vitalize Natural Granulars (Vitalize Micros + No-Till Nurture). Area B (Untreated): Fescue sod...

Shout out to @at1010 Albert and the crew at Vitalize. Due to a hectic schedule and major constraints on my time this fall I had to get the CL in when time allowed. I sprayed gly and sewed a week later on 8/2 via throw and mow method. Of course that was timed perfectly with the extreme dry spell/drought, just my luck. The heavy thatch layer created was enough to hold some moisture for germination. I was beyond worried that the lack of rain over next month to 6 weeks would surely be the end of it. Fast forward to now and the rain we finally did get has it really thriving. I’m really impressed with this mix’s drought tolerance and hardiness.

This is just a small kill plot that I plan on expanding little by little each year as time allows. I will keep it rotated in NB/CL seasonally. The deer are already using it with standing corn and plenty of native browse still readily available.

Thanks man! I’ve been talking about a new rifle for years. I’m excited to have finally bought the sob! Haha.
Pumpkin patch was planted 9/21, coming in nicely. Way later than I wanted to plant but pumpkins needed as much time as possible
Kill plot needs more sun. Only 1/4 of the broadcasted area receives enough to grow. That said, it grew great down here with no soil prep. Ill be dropping the large silver maple and a small pin oak this winter to open up for next season's planting.
The lower portion of the pasture was a 99% bust. The only places barasicas took hold was where there was bunched up grass from mowing. The clover and other smaller plants are sporadic throughout. The deer dont seem to mind, still bedding and munching on it. No rain and full sun, it didnt stand a chance. Ill look at plowing this up next spring to prep for fall planting.

Looks good. On the bust spot. Check it in spring and see if you don’t notice grains and annual clovers producing. I’ve seen that happen often.
