@sooby It took me a little bit, but I went to a different feed store. They were having a sale on 100% alfalfa pellets. I bought 2 bags. I took one bag and I layered it with milorganite. I made the top and bottom and a few in-between layers of milorganite. Poured some water over the top and sealed it up. 95 degree days here. Have twice poured more milorganite over the top and added some water. Alfalfa pellets are swolen and falling apart. Hope the odor of milorganite absorbs in and keeps rodents away.
While I was at the feed store I saw alfalfa meal that was ground from pellets. That type of ground alfalfa meal is not what I had purchased. My meal was just ground alfalfa hay, so I did get what I paid for. But now their product has gone to being just ground pellets. The info you provided helped me make the decision to purchase the less expensive pellets because there is not a difference now!
Thank you so much for your info Sue, it helps to be an informed consumer! May you have a safe and wonderful September!
