Nettle and Comfrey fertiliser
Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserWondered if anyone else makes free fertiliser.
I have done it for years but not sure if there is anything I should not use it on. I have watered the whole garden tonight with it, I do however warn my neighbours first as it is a bit pongy. This usually goes within 24 hours or less. Re: Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserI make 4 different teas now, comfrey, nettle, seaweed and dandelion. Comfrey for flowering, nettle for nitrogen and the other two everywhere.
If you want to remove the smell from comfrey tea, use a fish tank air pump and stone, I have a 12v one attached to solar panels. If a man is alone in the garden and speaks, and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?
Re: Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserHi Tink
My husband is having a go at making some nettle fertiliser and he's very proud of this stinking bucket of foulness behind the garage It's been stewing there for about a fortnight now....any advice on how long it needs to sit there before we use it? Also - should we use it neat or dilute it first? Thanks!
Re: Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserHi, I m also making nettle fertilizer. Monty Don gave instructions on how to make it a few weeks go, saying he old tell us how to use it after 4 weeks. I will be watching gardeners world this Friday to see if it is on, if so I will post the results

Re: Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserI have been making/using Comfrey extract for a lot of years, mixed between 10-20% with water makes an excellent feed.
Dont ever grow up, its a trap
Re: Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserAbout a month sounds about right for a good stew. I then sift out the solid pieces and put them in the compost bin. I cover and use over next month or so. I use a jam jar full to a watering can. I wear wellies/ gloves as it can leave a smell on your clothes. I used at 7pm the other night and odour gone by next morning.
Good luck with your but your will love it! Re: Nettle and Comfrey fertiliserI think I'll leave the to my husband
