I sprinkle the pellets lightly around the plants.
haha Lightly as out of a can walking down a row. Some are touching each other, some bounce. A very scientific method huh lol.

Soon as they get wet they dissolve, looks like a layer of something brownish all around and touching the plants.
Harmless to any stems!

So, whats tha fuss about alfalfa pellets?

It cantains a primary growth stimulant called (triacontanol)
Because its a deep rooted legume it must be bringing back lost nutrients from deep in the soil.
Alfalfa is one of those miracle crops that can take nitrogen from the air and fix it onto its roots.
