Here in Cali, you don't sell weed, you're a caregiver who shares medication in return for money, which is used to cover production cost. <sarcasm> Big difference. </sarcasm>

I got some Food Grade DE (diatomaceous earth) at the local feed store and use it all the time. Last year, leaf cutters cleaned up my entire crop, but no sign of them this year. A little dusting on the leaves occasionally and a sprinkle on the ground. They say it's bad to breathe, but it's...

oh noes, it's a marijuana plant. :) maybe try a tomato plant or something to make sure you got it right?

DE is the bomb. I get it from a landscape supply place down the street. Used to only dust the top of the soil and the leaves whenever there was an issue, but now that I have 50lbs of the stuff, it's in the soil, it's everywhere. No more bugs. Gave some to my Mom in Reno and she said it...

Decomposing green material can leach nitrates from the soil. I would just stick with the pre-made stuff and adjust for the plant's needs. I'm a beginner though, working from books etc. If you really want to use/add alfalfa, I would compost it separately and use it as a top covering, or...
