ALFALFA MEAL
Alfalfa Meal
Made from alfalfa(If placed in the root zone, the rapid decomposition of alfalfa
will generate heat which can damage roots.)
Slow acting all purpose fertilizer
An alternative to blood meal as a source of nitrogen, balanced with phophorus and potassium.
An excellent soil conditioner because of it's protein and carbohydrates that encourage microbial action in soil.
Ranges N 2.0-2.5%, P .5-1.0%, K 1%
Has an excellent carbon to nitrogen ratio which helps speeds availability in the soil to plants.
Roses react to alfalfa meal especially well, also flowering shrubs
Application to plants are: half a cup per plant for new plantings; 1/2 to 1 cup to a depth of 4-6 inches deep around each plant; vegetables and flower beds
need 2 to 5 pounds to 100 square feet.
Is used as a compost starter
