Improving Soil Health - The Release Process™

[@GunnyArtG]

Keep preaching Grant. We need this to be mainstream.

Grant - I love your "product" you are sharing. In the past 3 years, I have obtained a 16 acre parcel (10 acres of woods, 6 acres open/partially open). I have followed many practices that you have shared, to make this 16 acres the most wildlife friendly habitat that I could dream of. I'm listening, learning, and practicing what you're preaching. The wildlife, wildflowers, native grasses, are flourishing more and more as this process is unfolding. Thank you so much for your guidance and knowledge.

Really appreciate you sharing this information Dr. Woods.

Perfect timing for yard work/gardening ❤

[@ChuckAinsworth]

Another amazing talk!

[@Paulannear]

You've been preaching this for years, thanks for bringing a lot of this info to light to a hunting community who is largely uninformed about it!

[@levyadams1225]

Thank you for the masterclass sir.

[@trentsipsy2871]

Thanks Grant. Really enjoyed this one and didn’t know you clean up so well. Keep the videos coming. I look forward to them each week. Tks, Trent Sipsy

Im a complete novice at anything agriculture. This is my second year doing no till food plots for whitetail mainly because i have limited equipment and access to where i plant. This video is a goldmine of knowledge to help me understand the process. Thank you. Good crop last year hoping for a good crop this year as well. Harvested my best buck last season.

Congratulations!

[@jeffreysuraf8950]

Great Speech!

[@SandwichKing-lj4ej]

Excellent information

[@scottschaeffer8920]

Well done Grant. Often think about on a landscape scale, if all followed Regen farming practices, if this would save the quail?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Yes! Regen farming has been huge for pheasants out west!

[@1Buckluck]

So true the natives hunted those Buffalo for thousands of years for survival!

[@greenaffairindia]

we are also work on soil in India to improve soil health 😊

Hey Grant, I planted 2 acres of your Green Cover spring release blend this past spring. It did really well, but I did not plant into it with the fall blend and I’m left with tons of duff. I’m thinking of burning it this spring as I do not have access to a no till drill. Do you recommend planting the same blend year after year?

[@tellyourfriendsaboutme4219]

I'm curious how you start a new food plot, say I wanted to plant into an existing hay field. Would you spray the field then no till drill your cereal rye to start the thatch layer? is there a way to establish a plot using no chemicals?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Unfortunately, new seedlings rarely compete with plants that have an established root system. It seems the options are to till the soil to terminate the existing vegetation. Tillage caused huge damage to the soil. Most herbicides cause way less damage to the soil than tillage. Given this, it's likely best to use a herbicide to terminate the current crop and then plant the new crop.

[@weaverzimmerman8509]

I don't know if any combines that separate corn and beans at the same time

[@andywhitehead7566]

How do I keep slugs from eating my bean seeds that I no till into cover crop seem to b an issue in my area

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Andy - usually - with cereal rye - slugs don't mess with beans. They prefer the dead rye roots.

[@aprilmurrell3317]

Try covering garden in wood chips. Also let your ducks in garden 15 minutes before they go in their house at night.

[@johnsoeder756]

So, here in Florida they advertise over solar fields that we saved 500 acres of trees by cutting down 500 acres of trees. wtf?

[@harleytrumbo633]

Good stuff. When do you stand before Missouri's congress with the data you and Ken have? I'd like to see Josh & Eric take this to Washington? (maybe take you with?). Perhaps some of the money being robbed from me to help wealthy college students in the 95 percentile pay off their loan debt could be given to farmers to help us purchase a Goliath and a Genesis?
