Mile-Hi Alfalfa Meal is recommended as an additive to be used in addition to
Mile-Hi Rose Feed. In early production years alfalfa meal represented a
very high percentage of the total product weight. As the introduction
of new and improved additives progressed through the years, together
with a desire to enhance the strength of Mile-Hi Rose Feed, changes and
improvements were always made at the expense of alfalfa meal. Yet today
alfalfa meal continues to do the same job as it has for decades -
breaking down when in contact with soil organisms and triggering the
release of soil nutrients. A 1980 report by eastern laboratories
concluded that triacontanol is what makes it work. Triacontanol is a
naturally occurring straight chain alcohol present in the leaves of
many plants, particularly late-year cuttings of alfalfa which are very
high in protein. Although alfalfa meal is not a substitute for
fertilizer or plant food, when used with Mile-Hi Rose Feed it will
produce amazing results. How much alfalfa meal is enough? In
conjunction with using Mile-Hi Rose Feed, about 1 cup twice during the
growing season (one cup with the first feeding and one cup with the
third feeding). In construction of a new bed add about 40 pounds per
100 square feet of rose bed. You will enjoy healthier foliage, better
stems, more basal breaks and greater overall plant vigor.
