My only problem with commercially branded organic fertilizers is the cost. At nearly $10 per 1,000 square feet, I consider that high. You could apply a double dose of alfalfa for $3.60 per 1,000 square feet.

dchall,

so looks like the $9 per 20 lbs alfalfal meal I found is high then. Where do you buy from?

Hi Neil,

I've seen in other threads where you've talked to deerslayer & greenjeans who've told you about places to buy grains up there in Illinois. (If I remember right I think deerslayer buys his stuff at the Elburn grain elevator.) You should be looking for feed suppliers that sell the stuff in 50lb bags. Here in Oklahoma, I buy alfalfa pellets for around $9.00 for a 50 lb bag, and soybean meal for around $10.25 for a 50lb bag. You can use your yellow pages, look under headings like "feed stores", "feed dealers", "farm supplies" etc.

Good day, Dan

I tried last week using "farm" only as my search at yellowpages.com. It gave me tons of vendors. I contacted each of them but no one carried the product we were looking for. :)

I will do my search tonight using your search criteria.

Awesome link dchall!!! ;) I will call those guys tomorrow.

Also, this afternoon, finally, I was able to find some stores too using yellowpages.com. One store was selling SBM at $10.99 and the other one was $11.20. However, both stores don't sell alfalfa meal. I might have to get it from Ludwig at Lemont. Or hopefully, I can find someone from the link you gave to me.

Thanks again!
