Seedfork said:I thought one reason Alfalfa was recommended is because it processed a natural growth stimulator. don't think grass or hay does.
Alfalfa has higher nitrogen content than grass or hay.
I've used alfalfa in the past, but won't use any GMO alfalfa if I can avoid it.
Another great fertilizer source is leaves.
Each year homeowners haul bags and bags of wonderful leaves to the landfill.
This is a total waste of resource. I gather leaves wherever I can and have spots where nothing would grow now filled with greenery.
