Always works well

I have shifted mostly to container gardening and needed to "recharge" my used container "soil." This is an excellent way to provide some organic matter to lifeless peat based products. Used with other products, this is a great way to improve the mixture, especially if you are able to mix it in a wheel barrow before filling your containers. It breaks down for use pretty quickly so it is great for early season crops like peas or broccoli, etc. It heats the soil a bit, so don't get too carried away with quantity added. I used about 2 quarts in each 5 gal container along with the bagged container soil

No complaints good for growing healthy plants

Alfalfa meal is dried and finely chopped alfalfa grass. In farming we planted alfalfa for forage and for its nitrogen fixing nodules that helped replenish soil nutrients. In this formulation gardeners have a pleasant to work with natural fertilizer and soil conditioner that 'gently' provides nutrition to plants with reasonable amounts of nitrogen, potassium and phosphates. This is fine for regular use in Spring for pre-planting tillage and in the autumn to help the soil recover a balance of nutrients after garden plants have depleted them. Shoppers may also wish to consider another of my favorites--Kelp meal--if they wish to improve soil structure and if they work soils that are iron deficient.Should you have difficult clay soil as I now have, alfalfa meal and kelp are useful in that they provide a less concentrated level of nutrients per volume and can be used generously without risking 'nutrient burn'' of plant roots.

i get nice blooms

I now use this to add to my homemade worm chow, for my worms that are now eating the plants/vegiesthat I grew last year using this product in a Compost Tea to feed the plants. I'll harvest the worm casting in time to use in the garden this spring to grow more plants/vegies and feed them with Worm Tea using castings rather than Compost. The worms will gets scraps and since I don't like to can anything they will get all that I don't eat. I can only eat so many cucumbers and tomato's etc. and upon final harvest they get the dead plants. Maybe not a full circle since I'm not actually growing Alfalfa but pretty close.

This has a consistent grinded appearance and texture and smells fresh. It works great for applying over new seed as a sort of nutritious peat moss. I plan to buy this fairly regularly as a soil improver and mild organic fertilizer. I can't say how effective it was on new growth rates but the grass turned out well so it probably works.
