Alfalfa
This is another animal feed that I add to my soil in the spring. It is in a powdery form which makes the application process a little challenging. There is a feed pellet form, but this would take longer to break down, so this is why I prefer the powdery horse feed additive grade. In addition alfalfa is known to contain the plant hormone triacontanol, which is a plant growth regulator that has been shown to increase crop yields. There is also nitrogen, but again I do not think much of this is used by the plant.
For giant pumpkins, I use a rate of about 15-20 pounds per 1,000sq.ft.
