Know before you buy
Alfalfa Meal is an all-natural, plant-derived fertilizer that improves soil health and vitality rather than just providing a quick chemical boost. It contains natural growth stimulants like triacontanol, which helps promote robust development in roses and vegetables.
Yes. This product is OMRI Listed and CDFA Registered, meaning it meets the strict standards for use in certified organic production.
While Alfalfa Meal is excellent for overall plant vigor and nitrogen needs, it contains no phosphorus. If your plants require a boost for heavy blooming, you may want to supplement this with a phosphorus-rich amendment like bone meal or rock phosphate.
For best results, mix the meal into the top few inches of soil before planting or apply it as a top dressing around the base of established plants. Ensure you water the area thoroughly after application to help the nutrients break down and become available to the root system.
While Alfalfa Meal is famous for producing prize-winning roses, it is a versatile fertilizer suitable for most vegetables, herbs, flowers, and shrubs. Its gentle, plant-based nutrient profile makes it a safe choice for a wide variety of garden crops.
