Hey guys, would this alfalfa product be good to use mixed with the soil? And if yes should I grind it down in a blender or coffee grinder first to give it a more powdery constancy?

I wouldn't event think about it. a good soil base is always the perfect thing. getting to complicated with soils can lesson the yield. Just use a nice organic soil and put it on a regular watering schedule.

If you do mix it I would compost it first because as it first brakes down it will tie up your nitrogen and slow your plant down. If it's composted first then it would be good if you need to lower PH and help your soil from drying out so fast and add some nitrogen. I work in farming produce.

Alfalfa does not need to be composted it is a great source of N, it adds Triacontanol. Ohsogreen has a nice thread on it https://www.rollitup.org/organics/93764-triaco-what-its-found-where.html. I have been told that it can burn roots if to much is add but I've had no problem. Also check a feed/gardening center, you can buy a 50lb. bag for under $20. If you buy "meal" rather than pellets it will not need to be ground.
