I see several messages about finding and using horse manure.
Horses are feed alfalfa pellets. Rabbit pellets also contain alfalfa
meal. These are easily bought and easy to carry home. I scattered a
five pound bag, of rabbit pellets in my iris bed and watered it in.
In the American Iris Society Bulletin, October 1996 ( found at
lawn sale), page 45. Is an acticle called 'Alfalfa The Magic Elixer'
by Terry Aitken, WA.
Stated in the article is;
"What makes alfalfa special is a chemical called TRIACONTANOL which
is a growth stimulant."
"The meal or pellets are easiest to work with. They come in fifty
pound or eighty pound bags. A fifty pound bag will cover about five
hundred square feet."
"It can be added as a top dressing or applied as a soil drench as
'alalfa tea'. We have also applied a handful of alfalfa meal around
the base of reluctant spring starters which seems to be a benefit
before bloom time."
