Ellen,
I'm convinced that alfalfa is generally good for plants and the soil.
Composted manure is, too. I should also add that I confidently tilled
Hu-More into the top 6" of soil in a new iris bed last year. Fewer
winter weeds in that bed. Hmmm.
I saw a picture of the machine they use to help make this stuff. They
"row compost". The compost material is laid out in rows about 6 ft
wide, 6 ft high and over 200 ft long. The machine straddles a row and
turns the compost inside out as it moves down the row. It's a
funny-looking machine, but it does good things. There may be a similar
operation near you. They were offering franchises.....
