Long before commercial fertilizers were available farmers grew their own soil fertility. Alfalfa is the “OG” organic fertilizer!
A member of the legume family, alfalfa is a perennial plant that has the amazing ability to help convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia with the help of specialized bacteria in the soil.
But the real super-power of alfalfa is its deep and extensive root system which often reach depths of 20 feet or more. Alfalfa uptakes minerals throughout soil horizons resulting in high levels of trace minerals and micronutrients in the plant.
Livestock producers have always valued alfalfa for its high protein content. When dried, protein converts to Nitrogen, making alfalfa a rich source of fertility for your crops.
Western Alfalfa Milling Co. has been growing alfalfa for more than 40 years. The crop is harvested at the pre-bloom stage when protein levels are extremely high. The crop is chopped and brought directly to the mill where it is flash-dried and formed into pellets to preserve the nutrient quality. Alfalfa Green Fertilizers are 100% weed-free, and each 4mm pellet is packed with 30+ nutrients that will feed your crops and soil organisms.
