Dr. Earth Organic Alfalfa Meal

Alfalfa meal is a natural source of nitrogen and trace minerals, including magnesium, which supports overall plant vigor. The addition of TruBiotic microbes and mycorrhizae helps improve soil structure and nutrient uptake, making it a more comprehensive soil amendment than standard nitrogen-only fertilizers.

It is perfectly safe and effective for vegetable gardens. Because it is OMRI listed for organic gardening, you can use it on edible crops, flowers, roses, trees, and shrubs alike.

This formula is designed as a fast-acting amendment. While results depend on your specific soil conditions and plant type, the quick-release nature of the meal allows plants to access nutrients more readily than slow-release granular options.

This product is not water-soluble. It should be applied as a top dressing around the base of your plants or mixed directly into the soil to ensure the beneficial microbes and nutrients can properly integrate with the root zone.

With an NPK of 2-1-2, this is a balanced, gentle amendment rather than a high-potency synthetic fertilizer. It is excellent for maintaining steady, healthy growth and soil health, but heavy feeders may require supplemental feeding depending on your specific soil test results.

Yes, it is suitable for application in the spring and fall, or throughout the growing season. It works well as a soil conditioner whenever you are planting or looking to boost the vitality of existing landscape beds.
