Heim Milling provides locally grown and processed alfalfa meal—a versatile, natural product that can be used year-round as both a fertilizer and soil amendment and a pet-friendly winter de-icer and traction aid.
🌱 For Gardens & Lawns
Alfalfa meal is a natural, slow-release source of nutrients and organic matter that can help enrich your soil.
Adds nitrogen and other naturally occurring nutrients to the soil
Adds organic matter to help support healthy soil
Great for vegetable gardens, flower beds, lawns, trees, shrubs, and established plants
Can be mixed into soil or applied around plants as a natural fertilizer and soil amendment
Slowly breaks down, releasing nutrients over time
❄️ For Winter Ice & Traction
Alfalfa meal also makes a great low-impact alternative to traditional ice-melting salts, especially around pets, lawns, and gardens.
Pet-friendly and gentler on paws than traditional ice-melting salts
Provides excellent traction on slippery sidewalks, steps, and driveways
Plant- and lawn-friendly when used in moderation, without the harsh effects associated with many conventional de-icers
Its natural nitrogen content can help loosen ice while improving traction
When the snow melts, the alfalfa can break down naturally rather than leaving behind a salty residue
For best winter results: Shovel first, then sprinkle a light layer over icy or slippery areas. Alfalfa meal is best for providing traction and helping loosen the ice-to-pavement bond. It is not intended to replace conventional ice melt during extreme cold or heavy ice buildup.
One natural product, two seasonal uses: nourish your lawn and garden during the growing season, then keep it handy for slippery winter walkways.
