the earth is your bottle...
......i no longer use bottles......i am anti-bottle...i do what ever it takes to give my plants everything they need without me having to unscrew a cap........i am finding myself not only searching for my ingredients close by (i.e Amish soil mix), but also trying to find as much as i can on the property where i call home......i am in the process of building, and installing bat houses, with a collection area, and i also make my own castings, so i can control what goes into them, and ultimately what is fed to my plants.......i don't use blood or bone, because i grew up in farm country, and am well schooled on what we pump into those poor cows (another story, another time)....i use guanos instead.....anyways, i still have to buy my high P guano, fish bone meal, dolomite, and azomite......and of course my base, but really thats about it......

......i have recently discovered the miraculous properties of a very common plant....Comfrey......this plant is amazing in and of itself, and is my alternative to any sea vegetable (i.e kelp)......this plant is loaded with N, K, Cal, Mg, Iron, and micro nutes galore.....it also is a Dynamic Accumulator, which are plants that mine nutrients from the soil through their roots, and store them in their plant bodies......and if that wasn't enough, it is a enzymatic catalyst, and contains a substance called allotoin, which heals damaged plant, and animal (skin) cells!.......it is also known to have a unique symbiotic relationship with mike fungi, helping it colonize within, and beyond it's root zone.........hells yeah!....this plant has it all, and it grows all over the globe.......

....i happen to have a patch in the garden, and thought i would share how i harvest, and use it in my "elixer" teas.........you can make a stinky tea using it green, and letting it rot.....but i find drying it is better for me........using the sun, a coffee bean grinder, and a food processor, i get it processed down to an easily absorbable powder, then use it along with my guano, castings, and sucanat to make a very benificial tea to use in all phases of plant development......i also plan to use it in place of kelp in my next super soil mixing project.........have a dank day.....nugbuckets

Wow! +rep you if I can...comfrey is this something I can find in a store or would I have to plant one?

So how much comrey will you put into your SS, Nugs?

As well, I've been thinking, and I bet you could become the worlds largest rep/distributor of Amish Soil... I know a few nerds that would probably buy you out Hope you're having a good one.

nvm nugs i was being lazy, i found it...

they say its kind of an invasive plant, as long as there is a piece of the root left it will grow back...is that why you have it planted all by itself?

i already have our local grow shop carrying it, and it is blowing up.....i should have negotiated a commision!....i suppose it is my contribution for not spending any more of my money there anymore!......i need to do a little testing to determine the amount to use in my soil....

it is very powerful plant, and very aggresive, i hack it down to the ground and it is back up ready to cut in a month.....you would need a backhoe to get rid of it! i harvest it three times through the spring/summer/fall....all one needs is a small patch...i share it with a friend who makes healing salves with it....it will cure any skin affliction imo.

glad to see your making comfrey tea! another form of wild vegetation i like to use, is stinging nettles. a handful of dried nettles in a gallon of water. let set for a few days, sift and dilute 20:1 for a powerful foliar.
