I am using alfalfa meal in my garden this year, mixed with rock phosphate, gypsum, and dolomitic lime. Alfalfa meal is $11 per 20 kg bag here in Vancouver area, which is not too bad!
I use about 16 cups / 100 sq. ft., as recommended in

I also have a bag of alfalfa cubes and I plan to make alfalfa tea later.
Dee, how much did you add to your container mix? I have not tried adding it into my containers, not yet...
