alfalfa pellets

I know that for some of you this will be old news but... I would like to know
the best and easiest (not necessarily the same) methold to apply them.
 Normally, I do not fertilize my iris except when I plant them.  At that time
I put a hefty tablespoon of Bone Meal 2" under the plant.  I don't do
anything else until I dig and replant them in three years.  So far, they have
done really well.  I also lay out the beds I dig every year for one year to
keep the iris from draining them dry.  On the layout year I let the bed fill
up with rye and then clean it out and till it before planting it one year
later.  This too seems to be working.

Obviously though, I am interested in growing even better iris or I wouldn't
be asking these questions.  I have heard that the alfalfa pellets are miracle
workers.

What I don't know is how to use them, when to use, and at what rate.  I have
heard that some methods cause more problems than benefits but which methods
are which?
