Often times the best plantings start off in the fall. We have created this high carbon to nitrogen planting to follow our Nitro-Boost! Carbon load is made up of a higher C:N ratio to help us create and carry that thatch through the following Spring.
This thatch acts as a weed barrier, slow-release fertilizer (from the nutrients the plants sequestered during the growing season), and increases the efficacy of moisture retention.

*Broadcast – increase by 5%-20% – depending on the thatch layer you are broadcasting into. Less thatch, you will likely need slightly more seed. Note, we have small and large seeds in this mix – intentionally to increase our success for all planting methods.
Carbon load is not just high carbon to nitrogen plants, this is a very diverse mix of 14+ species. We have balanced our mix, exactly to meet our needs and take advantage of the free N that we have scavenged and fixed from our Nitro-Boost planting. By planting Nitro-Boost and Carbon load in subsequent plantings we are increasing the likelihood of soil aggregation forming, as well as increasing our soil microbe populations. As we increase our fungal and biological populations in the soil, through natural diverse mixes like Nitro-Boost and Carbon Load – we further impact the efficacy of our soils potential and highly reduce our need, if not eliminate our need for synthetic fertilizers.
Carbon Load is a fantastic mix that will feed microbes to deer all year round. We strongly suggest following Carbon Load in the Spring with Nitro-Boost to further energize our soils. However, Carbon load is such a well-rounded mix – it can be planted in the fall and left to grow until the next fall when spraying, mowing or crimping can terminate the crop. If performing the latter – just be cognizant of Turkey and fawns laying in it as it matures, and it will head out at over 5ft tall and be a thick area for bedding and eating.
All I can review so far is how quick the shipping was and ease of ordering form the website

Planted this product trying it out to help feed deer & helping the soil at the same time and it’s doing a awesome job doing both… I’ll need to frost seed more out with this next forecast of weather on the way to thinking it up and last thru the spring . Recommend any one trying this out for a fall blend …. I’ll try to send pic’s as the season goes on …

High quality seed blend
High quality seed blend , I planted it with a no till drill.
Deer have been hammering it since it came up.
Shipping was fast , this is my second order, will order more.

Last planting season
Last planting season. Planted and rained next day. Came up great. Didn’t rain again for 65days and it was by far the best plot we had.

Been about 2 weeks since I planted and field is starting to green up very nice. I can't speak fully to plants as its only been 2 weeks but I will speak to the service. It was so nice to speak to someone that has a passion and knowledge of food plots and soil health. All my questions were answered and even learned a few new things. I'm looking forward to see what the next 2 weeks and months ahead bring to my plots. I will say also the sticker shock is there at first BUT with the customer support, quick shipping, overall knowledge and initial gemination rate I've seen, I will be purchasing again next season.
