Re: CULT: alfalfa/lucerne

Linda, I use alfalfa horse pellets as compost about 150 pounds to 1000 square feet and plow it in deeply before planting.  I also use other compost.  I would put very little of it in pots.  Walter's experience with it in pots makes sense to me.  In the field, I believe it promotes health and growth.  It could certainly sour in pots.

  Hmmm....anybody know where the alfalfa comes from in the US that we are
  all merrily dosing our gardens with and what kinds of
  pesticides/herbicides are used in its production?  If it comes from
  different places & has different management needs, then content of some
  trace elements (both from soil differences and irrigation water) and
  pesticide residues might vary in the raw alfalfa/lucerne & maybe in the
  extruded pellets as well.
