Tink, Fred, et. al.,
I keep reading all of these things about alfalfa "going through a heat" as it breaks down, on this forum and others. Does anyone know how long this heat lasts, and how many degrees it gets to while going through this process? Does it depend on soil temperatures, moisture present, or other factors? If we ever had any root damage, it must have been offset by the benefits of alfalfa. It is one of the cheaper additives we will put in planting holes and around our daylilies for a long time. I think Tommy Maddox has stock in some alfalfa company, as he swears by it. We are always looking for some way to improve our flowers, especially if it's easy to apply and cheap. Thanks in advance for all of the information you all contribute.
