Easy to grow alfalfa establishes easily and grows very quickly. In gardens or row crop rotation, it produces plenty of top growth and a complementary amount of root growth to incorporate as green manure. It can produce as much as 200 lbs per acre of nitrogen and yield up to 3 tons per acre of dry matter. Sown in early May and provided with adequate water, can be cut twice for a nitrogen rich mulch or protein rich hay and later plowed in a green manure. This variety is perfect for rejuvenating worn out soils. Plant in early Spring: April-May. Planting rate: ½ lb per 1000 sq ft; 15-20 lbs per acre
