Know before you buy
Alfalfa meal contains triacontanol, a natural growth stimulant that promotes vigorous root development and stronger stems in roses. It also adds essential organic matter to the soil, which helps roses maintain better moisture levels and nutrient uptake.
As a nitrogen-rich organic material, alfalfa meal acts as an 'activator' that helps heat up your compost pile. It also improves the overall absorbency of the mix, helping to balance the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio for faster decomposition.
Yes, it is a fully organic, plant-derived fertilizer that is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. It provides a slow-release nitrogen boost that supports leafy growth without the risk of burning your plants.
You can work the granules directly into the top few inches of your garden soil around the base of your plants. For established plants, scratching it into the soil surface and watering it in well will help the nutrients reach the root zone more effectively.
Unlike some animal-based fertilizers, Merry Mixer Alfalfa Meal has a mild, pleasant, and earthy scent. It is much more pleasant to handle than manure-based products.
