Alfalfa is a cool-season perennial commonly grown for feeding livestock or as a cover crop and soil conditioner. The alfalfa plant has been cultivated for generations and growing alfalfa in your garden is easy. Easily grown and propagated, alfalfa adapts well to nearly any garden, tolerating a wide range of growing conditions. It makes a good drought-resistant plant too, as it doesn’t like wet feet. Those living in cooler climates can plant alfalfa in spring while milder regions should opt for fall planting. Since alfalfa roots quickly, it doesn’t require deep planting—only about a half inch deep. Merely sprinkle the seeds evenly onto the soil and cover lightly with dirt. Use about ¼ pound of seeds per 25 square feet and space rows about 18-24 inches. You should begin to see sprouts within seven to 10 days. Once seedlings have reached about six to 12 inches, thin them as needed to avoid overcrowding issues. Alfalfa is vegetable fibers that contain proteins, vitamins and other nutrients needed for the body.
