DAMN, I ammended some outdoor holes with rabbit pellets for the N source. If they were to sit a month or two before being planted in, do you think they'd be alright??

The outside soil micro-organisms will take care of anything like that. Just turn the dirt like you are working a compost pile. That is really what you are doing, is composting the soil with amendments before you plant in them.

You should be alright.

And you can make a tea out of dried rabbit guano. I have some dry and composting that I am going to use in a tea. You can use any type of compost to make a tea also.

A really good, less salty way of getting all the benefits of Alfalfa is to cover crop with alfalfa in the late winter early spring. This does a lot more than just release all those wonderful plant hormones, it also helps keep the weed population to a minimum. Also try Fava Bean (not sure on spelling) for cover cropping

good advice potdoc, if you're gonna use alfalfa outdoors the best option is to plant it as a cover crop in the winter.

I just ordered up some alfalfa seeds at the feed store. They should be in this weekend. LOL, I will use it instead of grass.

Sure enough, the rabbit pellets did have salt in them. Sixth or seventh ingredient down on the list

Thats silly, slat licks work so well why would they put it in the darn food.
