    Thanks, Dana, we do agree in many areas of using alfalfa.

    I have tried to use the phrase 'in my soil' or ' in my area' when 
I have discussed the use of alfalfa on irises.  I am still not 
convinced that is helps much here. Others, locally, have tried it and
abandoned the use of it.   Perhaps, because we have so much rainfall, 
the benefits are washed away; I don't know.  Your climate is totally 
different from mine.  I will continue to till some alfalfa into the 
beds when I rework one, but I will not use it in pots, topdress with 
it, or make alfalfa tea.
