Yes, spending time with GOD is so so beneficial and important ! GOD Bless !!!!!!!

I don't know about everyone else. I can't even afford a tractor to come out, let alone heavy equipment.😂 All I have is a 4 wheeler, backpack sprayer and shoulder slinger. It takes a while, but I get it done. I'm finding my own ways to get Dr. Grants methods. I've just about got it down. Thank you for all the advice.

Dr. Woods, I hope this reaches you; As focused as you are on soil biome, I am surprised you haven't looked into a Johnson-Su compost amendment. The field trials have been astounding. It seems that when we have mechanical disturbance of the soil, it shifts from a predominantly fungal biome to a bacterial one. The Johnson-Su compost method is a fungal focused process that attempts to restore that balance. My favorite results from it are a farm in Australia that simply sprayed an extract in the furrow when they planted. After harvesting their small grains, a native grass that hadn't been documented in the entire 30 years they farmed that land sprouted along each furrow, at a density that made it seem like it was intentionally planted....

My field was this exactly. I started with rye. Then buckwheat and wheat to get those roots and the soil loosened up. It sure has life now. Just need a drill.

Have summer plots growing. Being reminded of these frost dates for planting is helpful. I need to wait a little later to plant my fall forage blends. Average frost for my area is up to a week into November. Great video! Great information!

Excellent, thanks Grant!

Man I really appreciate how you really try to stay as till/fertilizer/herbacide free as possible. One note, for small kill plots you can totally fertilize with natural stuff too. There are plenty of liquid fertilizers that are totally chemical free.

While the burn piles no doubt release nutrients, you could also be seeing the benefit of the charcoal leftover from the burning, which works to hold moisture and nutrients. With your work in fire, I would love to see a test of bio char/slash and char as opposed to burn and perhaps creating terra preta soil as the indigenous cultures of the amazon have done for their soils. I love all the experimentation that you do.

Amen brother

There is truth to this. I deal with Northern Michigan Jack pine central. I'd call it a step above beach sand. I just planted my second fall blend. Decided to pull some of the milo to see. 1 inch of dark soil sticking to the roots. I shook it good too. Can definitely see its still lacking structure, and it's not quite to the chocolate cake color yet, but boy am I impressed with the progress made already.

Have you completely moved away from Summer soybeans and then planting a fall/winter mix in the beans to drill beans through again next spring?

Dr.Woods I am thankful for your passion and your faith. Alot of your clips I never comment on but I appreciate all the time and efforts you put out there for guys like me to learn. This will be my first fall with the genesis drill. I planted the Summer blend this summer. Do i need to crimp after i drill the fall blend? The summer blend is about 3ft to 4ft and i am concerned its to thick to not crimp. Your thoughts?

Dr. Woods, I am very fascinated with you video's. I started doing doing the regeneration of my soil here in the mountains of South Carolina. After watching more of you video's i have now expanded on it. I have 60 acres of all hardwoods. Originally i didnt want to cut any trees, but my land is a oak dessert. I have a logging crew starting the cutting process. My question is what is your recommendation on the amount of trees to leave/acre? As the cut i am expaning my food plots to 1-2 acre spots with chestnut trees making 2 rows down the middle. Do you think 6 spots are enough? Last question i am going to frost plant in a few weeks should i only plant clover and chickory, or what else? I really dont want to plot all plots in this. Thank you for any reply and God Bless You. Keep up the great work and info

After applying herbicide, and allowing vegetation to die, a flail mower would evenly distribute the duff similar to a crimper. Right?

Grant, why does tilling cause unwanted weeds but fire causes good native browse? Are there other methods besides fire that can stimulate the native seed bank and not the unwanted weeds?

Im trying to build the soil in my small food plots and mainly trying to attract deer in the fall, I’ve tried to use the release process in the summer but the deer eat most of the young plants and my plot ends up turning into weeds. Is there any summer blend i could use that the deer wont eat but will also build my soil?

What state is this plot in? Just curious because your frost date is before mine but I was thinking y'all were further down south than me. Great video

Dr. Grant, I'm creating the hidey hole for plots. I've weedeated the vegetation down, waited a week or so and herbicided the new growth. I plan to broadcast Green Cover hidey hole blend later August early September. My question is, do I need to fertilize this first crop? I live in west central Alabama.

I know discing is the old way of planting but can this process be done without a drill?

I would love to do my dove plots without tillage. Got any advice?

What is the name of your new plot?

Wish you would focus on small Hunting Club abilities. We can't spend the kind of money you have.
