feed (e.g. alfalfa) spreading question

So I bought a sack of alfalfa meal last year, but spreading it was a disaster: huge billowing greenish clouds rose and headed for my neighbors, looking for all the world like WWI poison gas. (Not that I know what poison gas looks like.)

I have considered alfalfa pellets, but our lawn is visited by rabbits, and I figured they would dine well at my expense.

What options do I have? I have not tried cornmeal but I am told it can get sticky and hard to spread. Is soybeam meal a bit more granular than alfalfa, and so easier to spread without nasty looks from neighbors? What else is easy to spread and good for the lawn?

(I mean feed-type materials, not Ringer, but Ringer is certainly the right consistency for spreading.)

Many thanks!
