Cheryl Holmes+Followthe $7 fertilizer that beats every name-brand product I’ve bought every fancy fertilizer on the shelf — the $25 organic blends, the liquid concentrates, the slow-release pellets. But the best results I ever got came from something embarrassingly simple: alfalfa pellets. The same stuff people feed to horses. $7 for a giant bag. Sprinkle a handful around roses, tomatoes, peppers, or perennial flowers, water well, and walk away. What happened shocked me: Tomatoes doubled in size within two weeks Roses pushed new shoots like crazy Peppers went from slow and sad to vibrant and deep green Alfalfa releases a natural growth hormone called triacontanol. Plants love it — especially in early summer. My neighbor thought I switched to some professional-grade fertilizer. Nope. Horse food. #Gardening #FertilizerHack120Share
