The Habitat Podcast is a podcast for land and wildlife habitat managers, and for hunters who learn and utilize different types of habitat in their hunting strategy. We interview hunters and habitat managers from across the country, picking their brain to learn their success's and failures. We are different in the fact that we are not the experts. This podcast is for us and the listeners to learn a thing or two, from the experts we analyze. Language: en Genres: Sports, Wilderness Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

394: Two Fields, 250 Yards Apart, Completely Different Deer Pressure — Here's Why with Al Tomechko
Friday, 10 July, 2026
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. And So Much More!
