Alfalfa Treatment

What is an alfalfa treatment?
Alfalfa is a unique soil amendment product. Our alfalfa meal is a 100% natural source of a wide range of nutrient that will develop and maintain a healthy lawn. The hidden benefits of alfalfa are the natural bio-stimulants found in the plant.  The first is a fatty acid alcohol called triacontanol.  This natural substance is found in the alfalfa leaf and is a root stimulant that even at low concentrations has been proven to increase yields in garden plots. The alfalfa product we use has been dehydrated and granulated for professional use on lawns. It contains no chemical additives, and will not burn your lawn at any time of year.

Who should receive an Alfalfa Treatment?
Alfalfa meal would be beneficial to any lawn. Suburban lawns commonly have poor soil conditions. The addition of organic matter and the unique materials provided by alfalfa on a regular basis increases soil life and vitality. 

What are the benefits of an alfalfa treatment?
Alfalfa meal is a natural product that provides a long-lasting, slow release of unique nutrients that feed the soil. As a natural soil amendment product, alfalfa enhances soil microbial activity. The fatty acid triacontanol in alfalfa is also a natural photosynthesis enhancer and seems to unlock nutrients stored in the soil and make them available to the grass plant. The many benefits include:

• Increase in root production and growth.
• Increase resistance from drought stress.

When used along with our balanced fertility program and effective turf management practices (such as mowing, watering, seeding and core aeration) alfalfa contributes to a healthy, actively growing lawn, more resistant to weed invasion.

What do I need to do?
Nothing. Alfalfa meal will naturally break down in the lawn. With regular watering and soil activity, the nutrients and natural properties in alfalfa will work their way into your lawn.
