| I purchased a rabbit feed called Producers Pride @ tractor supply. It does not say alfalfa pellets in description. It just has a breakdown of crude protein etc. There are other ingred. as well. Also states has salt.
Is this what I want to use on my lawn or did I buy wrong stuff? $13.49

| That's fine. There's only enough salt to attract rabbits to eat it. Alfalfa is a durable plant that produces easy protein without much processing. That's why it is used as a feed. It is not like wild animals would mow it down because it is so tasty. That is why they add salt and/or molasses to make it "palatable". Horses love molasses soaked feed so the larger pellets are almost dripping with molasses. If this is a feed store you're buying from, ask if they have plain alfalfa pellets the same size for a cheaper price. My feed store has a difference of $3 per bag between regular alfalfa and rabbit chow. I always talk about rabbit feed because more people know what that looks like than alfalfa pellets. Alfalfa pellets for horses are the size of your thumb and not great for home gardening. |

| Remember it takes 3 full weeks for the lawn to respond. Reason for that is the alfalfa has to decompose by the microbes and other microbes have to decompose the surface microbes and finally, somewhere in the soil food web, plant food is made. Then, all of the sudden, you'll see the grass convert to really great looking. |
