| Anybody in the Albuquerque area using alfalfa feed around their plants, and if so, does it seem to help? |

| Do you mean the alfalfa pellets that you feed to rabbits or actual fertilizer? Crista |

| I use alfalfa meal (pure with no sugar and such added) that I purchase from a local feed company on my roses. I do believe it helps them, but I couldn't tell you why. I mulch with it before I put down my regular mulch. I've put it around everything else too, while I was at it and everything is growing nicely. Suz |

| Alfalfa meal, like the food pellets, is very high in organic nitrogen. The roses, need the nitrogen to help keep them green and healthy. |
|
| Just a warning, if you use anything with live seeds in it, you will have alfalfa as a persistent weed forever and ever. |
