BREW LIQUID COMFREY FERTILISER

It won’t be long before comfrey dies back for the winter (if it hasn’t already) so pick the last of those big leaves and make your own comfrey tea. Fill a bucket, bin or drum with water and pile in as many leaves as you can. For extra nutrients, add chopped seaweed harvested from the hightide mark, a small amount of farm animal manure (not pet poo) or any other nutrient dense material, cover, then leave it to break down for up to six months. Check regularly, giving it a stir and top up with more water as required. When applying, dilute to the colour of weak tea as it can be incredibly strong.
