I would be wary of putting GMO alfalfa pellets on my garden. Wouldn't mown clover or green bean plants work just as well? I suppose I could grow some alfalfa and mow that too for mulch.

So far, I haven't used any fertilizer on my iris except that I let the leaves rot for years. Except the in too damp and dark places (I moved those), they all bloom and multiply very well. We will see with the new front lawn gardens. That used to be grass, clover and mostly violets.
Don't make fear based decisions.
