Re: Alfalfa

From: "Mike Sutton" <suttons@lightspeed.net>

Hi Janice,
We use Horse pellets from our local feed store, they work great!!  I
experimented last year and doubled the pellets in two display beds and the
growth, increase and bloom in these beds was much, much greater than the
beds with the normal alfalfa in them.  We just put down the pellets dry and
then work them into the soil before planting.  Works good for us.
Sincerely
Mike Sutton
