Alfalfa Meal is a key ingredient in our potting soil mix & compost, produced from the dried stem & leaf of the Alfalfa plant. Rich in nutrients content thanks to it deep rooting nature (roots have been found to travel over 20 feet down into the soil) our alfalfa meal provides us with plenty of Nitrogen & Potassium. If you’re looking for trace mineral content though, you’re best looking elsewhere. During our testing we have found there is little to no noticeable contribution to trace mineral levels within soil after applications.
We have been lucky enough to work with the same Alfalfa farm for the last 4 years, regularly communicating with the growers to ensure we know that no harmful pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers were used in the production. In fact due to the fact that Alfalfa roots penetrate so far into the soil the growers don’t use any fertiliser at all unless it is truly needed (which is almost never!)
