Alfalfa is the best overall fertilizer

Jun 29, 2020 | By Jan

I have been using this on my 40 roses and I love how many blooms are on the plants this year. So, I started to use it on all potted and in-ground flowering plants and vegetables and they love it, too. Some gardening staples that are easily found in other years have been hard to come by in 2020 and I was very happy to find alfalfa at Arbico Organics.
