@therustedgarden: 3-4 weeks time lets the alfa start the process of breaking down. Its a slow feed fertilizer. This is the simplest way to use alfalfa pellers as a fertilizer early spring. Scatter, soak, let sit 2-3 weeks, mix in, add a watersolube fertilizer, and wait 5-7 days before planting. #therustedgarden #growfood #gardening #organicfertilizer #alfalfapellets
