RE: RE: Alfalfa Pellets


Hi,
Most people around here soak the pellets and then
bury them below the Iris.  This keeps them away
from critters and gives the Iris a real boost.

I use lots of pellets here.
I have lots of wildlife here including a huge
black rabbit which has adopted us, obvious an
escapee from someones pen. I have never seen any
critter touching the alfalpha pellets. They seem
to prefere the fresh green things, particularly
the delicious dendilions growing in the lawn. The
deer prefer the apples on the apple tree. Only
occasionally will something even sample an iris
althugh the black rabbit  was observed pushing
over a siberian flower stalk and sampling the
flower.
