Alfafa seed
Has anyone seen these seed here in Spain? I´ve been reading about how good alfafa is for the soil.
Re: Alfafa seed
Olive, not really important unless you want to google it, but it is spelt "alfalfa". I think Alfafa is an area of Sevilla, no? You can definitely buy alfalfa in Spain (according to a quick google search) but whether you can buy in small amounts, I don't know. I know we have sprouted alfalfa seeds before, they are very nice and they grow very easily, but I don't know anything about growing them as a crop.

Re: Alfafa seed
The agricultural merchants on the outskirts of Antequera (on the right on the way in to the Veronica centre) sell it. I'm sure there's an agricultural merchants in Osuna somewhere, which would be closer.

We will have a look for the seed at the animal feed wholesalers, we might strike lucky there. Many thanks
