Alfalfa Meal Soil Amendment ZFL316

Product Details

This fine milled Alfalfa Meal Soil Amendment affects soil as though you had planted a cover crop. As a legume, alfalfa is naturally high in nitrogen. It also benefits soil microorganisms by helping them convert soil nutrients into soluble forms more available to plants. Finally, alfalfa contains the naturally occurring growth hormone, Triacontanol, which boosts the growth rates of seedlings. Alfalfa Meal Fertilizer makes an excellent mulch for roses and other perennials, as well as a great additive for composts. Recommended application: 5-10kg/10 square meters.

Quick Facts:

    • Makes an excellent mulch
    • Naturally high in nitrogen
    • Great for roses and other perennials
    • Makes a super compost additive
    • Makes seedlings grow faster

How To Grow Alfalfa Meal 3-0-3

Growing

This blend of Micro-clover and Tall Fescue seeds takes a two-pronged approach at defeating the chafer beetle. This blend is meant for use with new, bare topsoil, and not for over-seeding existing lawns. Keep the newly seeded area well-watered as the seedlings take root. Onceestablished, this lawn will require regular maintenance, but it will stay greener for longer in the summer, and it will stand up to foot (and pet) traffic in areas of full sun to partial shade. Clover may go dormant over winter, and may appear to die back, so the fescue in this blend will keep lawns looking healthy and vibrant. This blendcontains95% Tall Fescue and 5% Micro-clover.

Starting

Spread the seed on bare soil, with no turf present, at a rate of 3.6kg (8 lb) per 1000 square feet. Seeding over existing thatch is rarely successful. Because lawn spaces tend to be large, we recommend erring on the side of caution.It’sa good ideato withhold 15-20% of seeds for filling in any bald areas later. All new plantings should be kept damp until the plants areestablished.

Timing

Sow in the period two weeks before, to eight weeks after, the last frost date. Or, in areas with mild winters, sow in early autumn, approximately eight weeks before the first frost date.
