Becky actually I bought three bags of this compost that turn out to be pine fines mix, and add it to my new daylily bed, I haven't open the bag of my alfalfa pellets since I haven't completely finished planted all the daylilies, I thought I may scattered some on the top with mulch, I know different people use it differently and as a newbie, I probably tried everything... What do you think about fresh alfalfa, did yo ever use it (Russell Feed store, near me sold the alfalfa as Horse food, and the guy told me I can sweep and take any amount of the alfalfa that fell and scattered around and put it in plastic bag, I haven't done it yet since I don't know if I can use it like the pellets of the meal)... I have to say I got lots of worms here, when I mix the ammendment I have to be careful not to cut them...
Thanks again Becky and love your Avatar...
