394: Two Fields, 250 Yards Apart, Completely Different Deer Pressure — Here's Why with Al Tomechko

Habitat Podcast #394 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Al Tomechko of Vitalize Seed Co!

We discuss:

Grass pressure is higher than usual this year, even in Albert's no-till fields.

Two exclusion fences 250 yards apart show drastically different deer browse pressure.

A Kentucky agronomist's study found early-terminated cover crops outperformed planting green.

Albert plants clover-chicory-oats in fall, then frost seeds more clover each spring.

That one-two punch adds roughly 15 pounds of clover per acre in six months.

The new Grain Bin Mix is a $60, free-shipping gap filler, not a standalone plot.

Vitalize's native cover, browse, and pollinator mixes are now shipping after episode 386's preorder.

No-Till Nurture avoids the salt load and nutrient stratification of synthetic triple-13.

Jared plans to drill Carbon Load into standing Nitro Boost to hedge against drought.

Always jar test before tank-mixing Vitalize foliar products with glyphosate or roundup.
