“I could only put down 65 lbs per acre with the seed using the slow-speed gear on our drill. I could change it up this year to a high-speed setting to put more down, but seeing our result, I don’t know if that is necessary.

This was the second year there have been no synthetic fertilizer inputs in this soil. .......... I was thrilled with the results, and I think the soil will only improve with this kind of treatment.

Barry Livingston, Provost, AB

“I would recommend the product to anyone, the Parks Department received numerous compliments from our residents about how wonderful our plantings looked. The plants were strong and healthy and lasted well into October before being removed for the season.”

“The City of Estevan purchased certified organic Alfalfa Green Organic Fertilizer. We bought the product primarily for use in flower pots throughout the city. In an average year, the City of Estevan plants approximately 10 000 flowers in flower beds and pots.

This year, I was looking for a more convenient organic fertilizer option. I went with Alfalfa Green and applied it to our flower beds and pots at a rate of one cup per foot of weep line circumference. The pellets were used in early May at the time of planting and were re-applied one month later in June and again in July.

The organic pellets were easy to handle and apply and were more convenient than some inorganic fertilizers I’ve previously used, which had to be mixed with water before applying. Most importantly, I have peace of mind knowing that these organic pellets do not pose a health threat to Estevan’s citizens, children, or pets as they walk through our parks, nor have they been detrimental to the health of any of my staff members who applied them.

I observed that the flowers seem to be doing better than in previous years. The blooms, leaves, and foliage appear larger, colouring perhaps a bit deeper and more vibrant than expected. Overall, I like the Alfalfa Green products and will use them again in our flower program next year.”

“I wish to communicate the excellent results the City of Saskatoon Parks Branch has experienced with your Certified Organic 1/4” pellet Alfalfa Fertilizer, Alfalfa Green.

Since 2006, The City of Saskatoon has been amending some Eastside perennial shrub beds and annual flower beds with your products.

We have found that the alfalfa pellets, when added to the surface at a rate of 10 kg per 100 meter sq, have improved soil structure within our beds constructed over clay substrates. The slow-release source of Nitrogen and other microelements available in the products never burns our plants.

I believe the most significant benefit of this organic product is it encourages microbial activity within the soils of our beds, providing natural feeding of plant materials.

Another benefit is the organic pellets fit so well with our continued goal to reduce pesticide use within the City of Saskatoon parks.”

- Gerald Rees, Park Superintendent, City of Saskatoon, SK

“The City of Fort Saskatchewan purchased Certified Organic Alfalfa Green Alfalfa-based Fertilizer. We bought the product primarily for use on our sports fields.

The pellets were easy to spread and convenient as we did not have to worry about over-applying. As well it’s nice that it is an organic product rather than a synthetic chemical.

We used it on all of our 29 sports fields. As we were once again pleased with the results on our sports fields, we will again be using the products on our sports fields and trying them on some of our flower beds and pots.”

- Barb Holmes, City of Fort Saskatchewan, SK

"I am really quite impressed with the Alfalfa Green. I’m particularly impressed how it worked into the flower beds and has made quite a noticeable difference in some of the soil in those beds.

We still have some bags and will be adding these to the beds this fall. I also mixed it in all of our boulevard planters and the plants seem to like it.”

Tracy Timmer, Head Gardener, City of Brandon

“We appreciate how your smaller alfalfa pellets break down so quickly! We have applied the larger ones to our gardens for years and love how they naturally fertilize and condition the soil. It is such a joy to dig and plant in loamy soil!

The smaller pellet size is ideal for potting plants in the greenhouse and making our eco tea for our roses. Our gardens have been chemical-free for over 20 years and have a thriving microbial environment in our soil.

We love how the alfalfa is safe for our children and pets, promotes growth, and produces healthy plant roots and blooms.”

“As an organic fertilizer, I really like this product as it is made from plant material rather than manure-based products. I think the physical smell is pleasant rather than repulsive, it’s almost impossible to apply too much (no risk of burning plants), and it’s very effective for adding organic matter & micronutrients into depleted soils and increasing microbial activity in the soil. I highly recommend this product.”

- Jared Fehr, Coordinator, Landscape & Horticulture Sustainability, Lakeland College, Vermillion, AB

“Alfalfa Green Alfalfa is a great way to boost the nutrient levels in the soil. The high amount of organic matter is very beneficial for the earth. It feeds the ground and adds greatly to our intensive amendment program for our greenhouse soil.”

"I have been using Alfalfa Green for four years on my strawberries and potted orchard. It is a perfect fertilizer for me because it slowly releases nutrients into the soil every time it rains or I water, so there is no risk of fertilizer burn shocking the plants. An added benefit of Alfalfa Green is the alfalfa pellets soften and become a mulch, which helps control weeds and reduces water requirements. It is straightforward to apply by hand or spreader, and being that it is certified organic, I can feel confident that what I am applying to my plants is safe and beneficial to the environment. I highly recommend Alfalfa Green."

“On our certified organic vegetable farm, we use Alfalfa Green pellets as a source of nutrition for a wide range of crops. The pellets are an efficient and easy way to deliver Nitrogen to plants, along with Calcium - which can be a problematic element made available to crops without altering soil pH.

The 4mm pellets flow easily through a drop spreader or can be broadcast with a cyclone spreader. With adequate soil moisture, the pellets quickly break down and release nutrients.

We use the Alfalfa Green pellets as a fertilizer for our potatoes because we are always concerned about the potential for pathogens and disease-causing organisms sometimes present in composted animal manure. Potatoes respond well to Alfalfa Green.

We conducted a trial on our farm using Alfalfa Green on broccoli and celery. Sections of each crop were fertilized with i) compost only, ii) alfalfa only, iii) compost and alfalfa blend. In both crops, the clear winner was the compost/alfalfa blend, suggesting that compost organisms interact with alfalfa pellets to create a broader range of plant-available nutrients.”

“Our soil was in need of some nutrient inputs. As we are running a veganic carrot producing farm, our choices are limited. We came across alfalfa Green pellets and thought we would give them a go. We have used these for the last two growing seasons. We are very impressed with the results that have come from using these. We have found then to be a great way of getting more organic matter into the soil, we have better water retention and they give the soil a much needed boost. We will definitely continue using Alfalfa Green pellets in our farming program.”

Alistair Smith, Farm Manager, Fountainview Farms, BC

“We use alfalfa pellets as part of our nutrient program for our garlic crops. The pellets' size, shape, and density make them very flowable and easy to work with. There is no hanging up in our applicator. I certainly recommend using alfalfa pellets as a natural fertilizer for farmers and market gardeners growing high-value crops.

“Alfalfa Green pellets were incorporated into the soil at the rate of 0 t/ha [control], 5 t/ha, 10 t / ha, and 15 t/ha. Plant morphological traits of six native species were studied in the field for irrigated and non-irrigated plots. Application of alfalfa alone had a significant effect on total plant biomass, plant height, rooting depth and root surface area as was the effect of irrigation on these parameters. Soils amended with alfalfa pellets also exhibited significantly higher N, P, K, and soil organic matter content while it also reduced bulk density. There were also significantly higher microbial populations in alfalfa amended soil with irrigation than non-amended and non-irrigated soils.”

“Results indicate that increasing rates of AG in contaminated and non-contaminated soil significantly increased the vigour rating, biomass rating, plant height, plant dry weight as well as Total Petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) degradation in the F2, F3 AND F4 fractions. Application of AG improved the content of some of the nutrients in the soil at the end of the trial.”

“Weed Pro Lawn Care has been using pellets from Alfalfa Green™️ since 2008. We like using the smaller 5/32” (4 mm) pellets as they are easier to spread and break down into the lawn quicker. Though alfalfa has many benefits to the soil, Weed Pro primarily uses the Alfalfa Green pellets to help water retention after overseeding a lawn. These pellets will absorb up to 5 times their weight in water.

Weed Pro spreads 50lbs per 1000 sq ft, giving a 250-pound wet blanket on a newly seeded lawn and helping ensure that tender grass seeds remain moist until they are established. Customer service with the office staff has always been outstanding, and product delivery times have been quick.”

“Thank you for your continued support of me and the Mississauga Golf and Country Club landscape areas. Alfalfa Green soil nutrition pellets have helped us to enhance our landscape maintenance program and the health of the gardens at Mississauga Golf and Country Club.

Specifically, it has allowed us to grow quality perennials in areas exposed to road salt. After applying the fertilizer to the gardens, growing conditions improved, which resulted in more excellent leasing, colour, and quality of the blossoms. Thank you so much. I appreciate their plants growing more vigorously and with my extended blooming period.”

“We had applied the Certified Organic Alfalfa Green Pellets on our soccer field and ball diamonds in early spring. Over the spring and summer seasons, we witnessed an increase in the growth and thickness of its turf, especially in the bare areas, such as goal creases on the soccer pitches.

We also noticed a lot fewer weeds than usual, and as a result, we did not spray chemicals for weeds this season. We applied a second application in late October and are looking forward to next spring with even better growth; we are also planning to introduce this product to our playground, park areas, and sports fields.

Calvin Bennefield, Parks and Facilities Manager, City of Lacombe, AB

“At Goodbuds, for the past two years running in the legal outdoor cannabis market, we have used Alfalfa Green. These organic pellets have enriched our soil medium while slowly releasing all the necessary nitrogens for a successful/healthy plant life cycle. We will continue using this superior product as we move into year 3 of outdoor cultivation."

- Ryan Mant, Outdoor Production Manager, Good Buds, Salt Spring Island, BC

Alfalfa Green has benefited my vineyard because it increases organic matter, soil fertility and water-holding capacity in sandy soils. The pellets are easy to broadcast through a spreader. I've been using it since 2018."

“Shortly after taking over our Greenhouse, we were introduced to Alfalfa Green and tried it on some of our container rose bushes with positive results.

The following season, we started using Alfalfa Green as an additive to our growing medium for our transplants. It has now become our primary fertilizer and has allowed us to cut back on both slow-release fertilizers and the amount of water-soluble fertilizers applied through our injector system.

We strongly feel that our use of Alfalfa Green has allowed us to grow a superior product, and the fact that it is an environmentally friendly product is a positive bonus. We also use Alfalfa Green extensively in our Market Garden operation, again with positive results.

Our retail sales of Alfalfa Green Grow Anything!™️ have also increased, with many customers returning for a bag of that “special” fertilizer they bought last year.”
