I use alfalfa on my daylilies each spring but I don't feel that it takes the place of fertilizer. I had gotten two 50 lb bags early this week and wanted to get the pellets spread around as soon as possible.
It did rain heavily overnight so I should have put out the Alfalfa yesterday but I didn't. So today its just aweful, raw and cold and damp. But its not raining so I made myself go out and spread the alfalfa today. It should rain some more and I wanted to get this done. The two bags did everything I wanted to do so I guess it was enough. Its mostly the roses and daylilies that get the alfalfa and afew handfuls get tossed on other things here and there.
Like I said before, I just toss them around the plants. Works for me. But I also use fertilizer. Usually I just put the bagged fertilizer out each spring but got lazy this year and sprayed everthing with Neptunes liquid Seaweed Fertilizer with my hose end sprayer the other day.
