Has anyone every planted Alfalfa?

Read that deer love it?

Is it hard on the soil? Hard to grow? Is it throw and grow like wheat/rye?

Need a really good seed bed. Clover is much easier to maintain. Unless you plan on lots of TLC and have good spray equipment it isn't an easy crop to plant.

Unless you plan on haying it regularly I wouldn’t put in the effort. It requires constant maintenance.

It is really finicky, soil has to be perfect. Unless you have a big plot, the deer will wipe it out as soon as you can see it. Been there, done that

Pretty sure FurFlyin had some success with it. Maybe he’ll chime in.

Thx. I knew several of you would know more than me about it.

Here’s a good discussion from a while back.

EDIT…..can’t figure out how to get the link to work. Search alfalfa and look for FurFlyin’s post. It was the last one on my display.
