Entry to @knowledge-seeker something green on the homestead contest
My something green entry to @knowledge-seeker week 9 competition.
Comfree tea
How I use comfrey is by making a comfrey tea fertiliser. I am showing the end product in this picture. This method is quite simple. Just need comfrey, water and time. Made a little over 5 gallons of concentrated liquid fertilizer in this go-round.
Cut the leaves and flowers off of the plant.
Place them in a bucket of water. Make sure the leaves are completely covered with water and there is at least a few inches of water above the leaves. Cover for 3 to 6 weeks. The colder the weather the longer it will take.
Strain out the liquid into containers to store it in
This will make a concentrate in which I usually use a 5-1 raisho. Five part water one part comfrey tea. A cool thing about comfrey tea is that you can’t give your plants a overdose like you could with a chemical fertilizer. You can also use it as a foliar spray before fruiting. Just a forewarning, comfrey tea does not smell appetizing in the slightest bit..lol..You do not want to get this on you trust me.
