Nice.......................thanks for the insight, I was fixed on completely decomposing it for some reason????????........fuck me, I was completely disregarding it's quality as a beneficial soil additive in it's own right.
and dandelions?????? Hahaha................1st spring flowers just coming through on this un-tended, un-treated patch of local council property, from what can remember I think I've got about a month of growth and flowering to take as much as I can use before the other weeds start to take over and this is a small cross section of the full field.
This is also one of the few comfrey plants I've got, which were established last year and I should be able to harvest from this year.
I found a couple of plants near an allotment last year and made roughly 15 root divisions, planting them in various places, all of them grew, but most of them got eaten..............everything likes the nutritional content of comfrey, this one is the best I've got because it's mostly protected.
The other bonus I've got is illustrated here, this is a pavement near my house, there's dandelion, nettle and goose-grass growing out of the sidings.
This is very typical of any untended area around here, there's not been money for weed killers for a long time...........and most of them are being banned here now..............lets hope they get on to round up next. I can get SHIT LOADS of stinging nettles.
Think I'll go with the 2:1 ratio and add some meals and rockdust
