At least I had what appeared to be nitrogen burn on some things that I likely OD'd with too much alfalfa meal and blood meal. Charlie I often use lucerne (alfalfa) straw as a mulch but I notice in another post that you refer to alfalfa pellets. Can you buy lucerne (alfalfa) in bales such as you'd feed to a horse as this stuff is magnificent as a mulch. Or even if you could buy it in the chaff form should also be good. It's ideal for gardens but not for cattle. My old lecturer when I was doing a farm animal production course used to say that feeding lucerne to cows was like feeding chocolate to children. Do you happen to know when you harvest alfalfa? After reading about it here, I decided to grow it in bare patches. Some is about 18" tall and blooming. Kate |
