alfalfa

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I'm buying alfalfa hay at $3.75 a bale that has some other stemmy hay in 
it. The goats and llamas love it, but it does shatter pretty badly. When it 
does, I've been putting it in the compost, and around as mulch. One batch 
from a different source was BRIGHT green and the animals wouldn't touch it. 
I took my hint from them and put it in a 'toxic' pile. I think they 
overloaded it with heavy nitrogen fertilizer and probably pre-emergent 
sprays.
You can often buy alfalfa pellets for rabbit food. This works good in 
compost, but watch the heating up closely. I've found feed concentrates 
like this tend to really get the pile cooking.
