On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we catch up with Al Tomechko from Vitalize Seed. After discussing some big projects that took place during the off season at Al's place, we dive into Vitalize seed. Vitalize uses a two-pass planting system with the summer mix called "Nitro-boost" and the fall mix called "Carbonload". Al breaks down the plant species used in Carbonload and how they work together to provide the best food plot possible. There are hundreds of different food plot blends on the market and thousands of different opinions. Some would disagree that certain plant species cannot be mixed into the same blend. However, with proper seed balance and ratio, diverse mixes can produce maximum tonnage that work together rather than compete. Al follows soil biology principles when he and his team develop seed blends. Diversity allows better nutrient exchange between plants, and wildlife can tell the difference. Tune in to learn more about the "why" and "how" of Carbonload; you might want to consider planting it this year!
