Every year your soil should be replenished with fertilizer adding these essential nutrients back, but finding a fertilizer that’s not full of chemicals can be somewhat of a challenge for most gardeners. Alfalfa Pellets act as a slow-release fertilizer that is an excellent source of nitrogen.
Pellets are the same as the meal as long as there’s no binder added (usually molasses). Just make sure it’s 100% alfalfa. It’s normally much cheaper from a feed store.
