Natalie said:Another thing I wanted to mention was fertilizing. Many of us use alfalfa pellets, and nothing else. The daylilies love them! I always put a handful in the hole, then toss some dirt over it, to make a barrier between the alfalfa and the roots. After the daylily has been planted, I top dress with it too. I can't believe how much it has improved my soil too. Happy plants, and happy earthworms! I noticed a huge difference in the plants after I started using it, and wouldn't consider anything else now.
Hazelcrestmikeb said:I also got my Alfalfa from the feed store a few miles from here near Balmoral race track. I also got a bag of the meal which he had to order. It has lasted a long time. Maybe it is due to the fact that I also use Milorganite and some Osmocote. Due to the expense only the favs in my eyes get the Osmocote. Like last season I got another container real cheap this past winter. Patience :rofl:. I will be trying something new to me this early season to give them the micro nutrients that they should get in the early season from what I read by a big name hybridizer. Iron, Calcium and Magnesium among others.
