Alfalfa Meal

Alfalfa Meal is an organic, plant-based fertilizer and soil amendment that supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium along with natural growth compounds. Alfalfa's deep root system draws minerals from within the soil and concentrates them in the leaves, so soil microbes can break them into forms plants readily use while boosting soil biological activity.
