Be aware that a lot of alfalfa grown today is GMO. GMO alfalfa is likely to have Glyphosate sprayed on it and still in it. And sadly, it is contaminating wild and conventional fields, too. So if you want to use this tip I would definitely buy organic. Tractor Supply carries it and feed stores where people are raising rabbits may have it.

Pellets will break down faster because the alfalfa in them is already chopped. But if it isn't organic it is likely to be GMO and sprayed with Glyphosate. You can find organic alfalfa pellets at Tractor Supply and other farm stores and some feed stores, especially if they have customers raising goats or rabbits.

most organic substances do the same thing, though the NPK varies. It even varies between tree species, when you use chipped leaves! What you don't want to use: old tomato stems and leaves, which may harbor disease, any dried seed heads, or human poo. (Human pee is great. Use it all fall and winter, and the spring garden will grow better for it.) Hair, animal fur, weeds that have dried up, grass clippings, shredded leaves, shredded bark, wood chips, chopped up veg stems and leaves that aren't edible, shredded plain newspaper (none of the shiny stuff), cardboard strips. Spent brewery grains. Don't pile it on so deeply that it creates a barrier against rain, is the only other caveat.
