RE: roundup

Greetings from flatland Champaign, IL U.S.A.  .    .     .

Alfalfa being a nitrogen fixer, wouldn't pellets have good percentage of
internal nitrogen.  This is true with leaves of Alder, a woody nitrogen
fixer.

Lets look at
alfalfa pellets, I believe their real value was the
organic matter that was added not any magic

The great thing about alfalfa pellets is that they are a good organic source

at a low price, say as compared to peat moss.  The bad thing is that the 
animals love them and will make a mess eating them.  

Once while cleaning out the garage I threw out a bag of alfalfa pellets on
an 
annual bed.  Had the biggest bed of healthy weeds the following spring.  
Butch, this sure does make me think about alfalfa but not enough to put up
with 
the opossums and other things that they bring in.
