I had a garden in Amarillo, TX and it was clay and very poor soil. Put a bale of alfalfa and leaves,grass clippings in to improve the soil. The farm extension agency had classes on all items. 2nd year my soil was improved alot. Did same with flowers.

A suggestion: don’t handle fertilizer directly with your hands if you will be flying anywhere in the next week. I had a rather lengthy encounter with TSA after they detected fertilizer on my hands from gardening the day before, and suspected I may have been involved with bomb-making since fertilizer is sometimes used as a component in explosives.

Good idea! I'm also going to try growing alfalfa next year in a side yard just for mowing and composting :)

I put a layer of leaves and cardboard down in the bottom of my boxes . You only need a 2 inch layer of each but that replaces a ton of soil n breaks down by the time your plant roots get down to bottom.

Wood chips will only rob nitrogen from your plants if they are mixed into the soil. If you keep them on top, as a mulch, the most soil that loses nitrogen is about a centimeter. That topsoil could be sifted, and the remaining bits of wood used on top of the soil.

Hi Gary, I get a lot out of your videos. Being in the Southwest, I have an aversion to using wood ash as a soil conditioner. Being arid here, which on the average raises soil pH, and much of the water here is on the alkaline side, adding a base such as wood ash to our soils would be detrimental, as wood ash is also alkaline. Same with lime. We use gypsum and soil sulfur here to lower the pH of our soils. Other than that, keep up the good work!

I've never seen leaf mold for sale anywhere. In it's most basic form it's just making a pile of leaves and waiting for them to break down. The budget sense of leaf mold is that you trade off the price you'll pay for compost with the time it takes to break down. If you're just going to buy something anyway just get regular compost or worm compost.

I opened up a bag of alfalfa pellets that had been sitting all winter. It did get wet and there is alot of mold. There are worms and other bugs in it. Can I still use it in my garden soil, bushes and perennials?

If you have logs or wood chips, dig the dirt away and place them at the bottom. The plants' roots won't reach them, so they will slowly decompose without issues while filling your beds back up. If the top soil doesn't have chips, it will compact too much. Where I live, it's all heavy top soil, but that depends on location.

Great refresher on the alfalfa. I still have the bag from years ago in the home garden. They did get moths and some spiders in the bag however, any ideas for that? I wonder if the water got in there as well but I assume the pellets are still rich in nutes.

I’m wondering if the alfalfa pellets are safe in your garden. The reason I wonder is that the lion’s share of alfalfa grown in the US now is from genetically modified seed made to withstand multiple sprays of roundup. Wouldn’t that roundup still be in the green growth of the alfalfa after it was harvested and pelleted? Couldn’t that act as an herbicide and prevent plants from growing? Does anybody have any experience with that?

That is what they call composted leaves and such here. It is a leaf compost product. Earn 15% by becoming a Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop Affiliate.

You read about the Chesapeake bay issue right? Excessive nutrients being applied and watered away the you water is creating a huge problem. Less fertilizer is more, I might use as much fertilizer on 1000sqft that you use in one bed. Also only water once to twice a week deeply. My plants thrive with the minimal nutrients, compost, and water. The environment will only thrive with how us gardeners and farmers manage it.

Also, Alfalfa costs LESS if you buy it for something other than horses LOL Secret, evil pricing for fathers of little girls LOL. Def if you buy rabbit food instead it will cost less usually. :)

We have a well know "compost" product here in Montana, used by many gardeners, that is no longer the same product is was 10 years ago. It is now wood chips and twigs mixed with ground up black charcoal. It is called compost because it is black. I no longer buy it. It is a waste of money.

Even on sale, you just spent more than the value of almost anything you can grow in this small area.

Did you know that there are alfalfa shortages and we are having trouble buying it for our horses? $32 a bale vs $17 last year and you are dumping it in your garden!

I’ve been doing this for years. I’m not aware of a shortage and this isn’t being done to cause problems for you. I’m sure you understand that.

Please get your alfalfa after it has gone through the animals, it's better fertilizer that way. Most of your local riding stables have to pay for disposal and would be happy for you to take it.

The amount of alfalfa used by gardeners is trivial compared to that used for livestock.

“Top soil” is not suitable for organic gardening. It may be contaminated with virtually anything.

Repetitive. Cut your videos by a third by not repeating yourself so much.

I dont think so, they are teaching videos and people learn differently. Once you get what you need, you can stop watching, while others may want to see more or see it again.
