Anyone tried comfrey? Thats actually classed as a fertilizer rather than just the bacteria when you turn it to a tea. Heard its so strong you can use it as a herbicide if you dont dilute, just burns the plants with organic nutes

Make jokes; talk humorously



I struggle to see the humour in insinuating I burn my babies to a crisp

Taking this waaayyyy to far. I laughed when you called me "batboy". Think I even clicked like. I'm sorry Hamish. P.S. I'll probably just end up offending you again somehow so I'm also sorry in advance. I like your bud pics a lot more than your Webster.

I can't believe how good this shit is considering their diets. Don't they eat cigarette butts and beer cans?! Anyway I love this stuff for late veg/early flower. One of the few things I actually notice a big difference with. Don't like the big pellets from Sunleaves tho.

Being a noob when it comes to neem cake, I added some (sprinkled a small amount) as top dressing to my soil and watered.

Should I be seeing this forming on the top of my soil after using neem, is this normal?

nick17gar - interesting recipes you've got here...a couple of questions.

For your guano tea, where can you find pasturized poo? Sunleaves guanos are not pasturized (I think) but are the easiest to get...maybe i'll check a local nursery. I was considering using a liquid guano becuase i'd rather work with something less toxic...that powder can fly anywhere (eyes, lungs)

For your bone meal tea, what good does the baking soda do? How do you cook it? by boiling like your other recipes?

for those teas you say to sit for a week...is it best to store them in a cool, dark place?
Click to expand...
The baking soda is used to help buffer the PH lowering effects of adding High N sources to soil, normally for blood meal and other H N sources that guano that would have immediate effect on soil web. Not sure why bone meal when it is a high P source?

I would ensure to have something like oyster shell flower on hand to use on soil when applying High N sources such as guano's and blood or alfalfa meal.

Some additional notes on the use of COMFREY as a fertilizer. Taken from wiki here.

"
[h=3]Fertilizer uses[edit][/h]Comfrey is a particularly valuable source of fertility to the organic gardener. It is very deep rooted and acts as a dynamic accumulator,[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] mining a host of nutrients from the soil. These are then made available through its fast-growing leaves (up to 4-5 pounds per plant per cut) which, lacking fibres, quickly break down to a thick black liquid. There is also no risk of nitrogen robbery when comfrey is dug into the soil as the C:N ratio of the leaves is lower than that of well-rotted compost. Comfrey is an excellent source of potassium, an essential plant nutrient needed for flower, seed and fruit production. Its leaves contain 2-3 times more potassium than farmyard manure, mined from deep in the subsoil, tapping into reserves that would not normally be available to plants.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]
There are various ways in which comfrey can be used as a fertilizer. These include:[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]

  • Comfrey as a compost activator - include comfrey in the compost heap to add nitrogen and help to heat the heap. Comfrey should not be added in quantity as it will quickly break down into a dark sludgy liquid that needs to be balanced with more fibrous, carbon-rich material.
  • Comfrey liquid fertilizer - can be produced by either rotting leaves down in rainwater for 4–5 weeks to produce a ready-to-use 'comfrey tea', or by stacking dry leaves under a weight in a container with a hole in the base. When the leaves decompose a thick black comfrey concentrate is collected. This must be diluted at 15:1 before use.
  • Comfrey as a mulch or side dressing - a two-inch layer of comfrey leaves placed around a crop will slowly break down and release plant nutrients; it is especially useful for crops that need extra potassium, such as fruit bearers but also reported to do well for potatoes. Comfrey can be slightly wilted before application optionally but either way, avoid using flowering stems as these can root.
  • Comfrey potting mixture - originally devised to utilize peat, now environmental awareness has led to a leaf mold-based alternative being adopted instead; two year old, well decayed leaf mold should be used, this will absorb the nutrient-rich liquid released by the decaying comfrey. In a black plastic sack alternate 7–10 cm (3-4 inch) layers of leaf mold and chopped comfrey leaves. Add a little dolomitic limestone to slightly raise pH. Leave for between 2–5 months depending on the season, checking that it does not dry out or become too wet. The mixture is ready when the comfrey leaves have rotted and are no longer visible. Use as a general potting compost, although it is too strong for seedlings.[SUP][3"[/SUP]

I found this super informative as I have an over abundance of the stuff where I live.
