Description
Alfalfa meal is made from the leguminous perennial alfalfa plant, commonly grown as a pasture and cover crop. Known for its pleasant aroma, its main advantage is boosting organic matter in the soil, though it also serves as an effective plant-based fertilizer. To see it in action, check out our Alfalfa Meal Product Video . Excellent addition to the compost pile for nitrogen content and absorbency. Roses respond especially well to alfalfa meal. For new plantings of roses, mix 0.5 cup per plant into the soil. For existing plants, mix 0.5-1 cup of alfalfa meal to a depth of 4"-6" around each rose bush.

How Alfalfa Meal (40 lb Bag) fits a fertility plan
- Provides a defined fertilizer or soil-amendment input that can be incorporated into a broader crop nutrition plan.
- The dry format can be measured and distributed over beds, containers, lawns, trees, or field plantings as specified on the package.
- Its general-purpose profile can serve multiple crops, provided the labeled rate and soil conditions are appropriate.
Application guidance: Use the guaranteed analysis, current soil information, crop stage, and other fertilizer inputs to set the rate. Measure rather than estimating, distribute or dilute uniformly, water as directed, and keep concentrated material off leaves, stems, hardscape, and waterways unless the label specifically permits that placement.

Very easy to apply and work into the soil. Excellent for building soil fertility and structure.
Alfalfa meal is what my roses love! I was glad to give them some, along with compost, to nourish healthy spring growth.
This is my first year using Down To Earth Alfalfa Meal in my garden. I can't wait to see the results it will have on my crop this year. I love that it is OMRI rated so it is safe to use in my organic garden.
