The problem with using alfalfa as a cover crop is that this perennial
tends to send out and down huge tap roots. It is impossible to get rid
of this stuff once it gets in somewhere that you don't want it staying.
I have often remarked after trying to rid a garden spot of it that is is
the stuff of which sci-fi horror movies can be made! I'd suggest
sticking to alfalfa pellets for fertilizer, and using something just a
little more co-operative as a cover crop.
