Put alfalfa pellets around my 3 roses today. I can’t even remember when I bought the alfalfa. Pee-yoo!

I make a tea with the alfalfa pellets that stinks for a couple of hours after I apply it but no longer.

I did the same thing! Alfalfa had been left outside over the winter and was all clumpy. Looked like road apples!
This had been in a closed bin for several years and smelled like urine.
