Unless I am digging a new bed, I just top dress with alfalfa and then water it in well. I don't have any problems with critters eating it or being attracted by it (knock on wood). Aside from its nutritional content, I find one of the main benefits is that it attracts and encourages earthworms. Even if spread over compacted soil, there will soon be enough earthworms to loosen it nicely and they will leave castings to help the plants thrive.
