I'm reluctant to put the alfalfa pellets on the ground for the following
reasons:
It might attract more voles or mice.
It might attract deer.
We have hot and humid weather and the pellets may cause rot problems if they
get on the iris rhizomes.
I could work them in the soil if I were redoing the beds but I'm not right
now.
Also, the teas as Organic Gardening Magazine readers say, helps fend off
disease and insects if applied to the foliage. So, I tried it and it seems
to work.
