Comfrey As a Liquid manure

Comfrey leaves decompose into a liquid rather quickly and make a great liquid fertilizer. To make this fertilizer, start with a large container, like a 5 gallon bucket. Squish and squeeze as many leaves into as you can into the container. You can weight them down with a rock or brick. Check regularly, but it should take about 6 weeks for all the leaves to break down into a thick, black liquid.

To use on established plants, dilute 1 part comfrey fertilizer in 15 parts water. Use to water and to spray on your plants as a foliar feed. When feeding young plants whose roots could be damaged by strong fertilizer, you may want to dilute it further

The Garden group also have help the children of Little steps to grow there own crops themselves. This was a great collaboration between the gardening group and Little steps.It help everyone involved. The Group got a great feeling teaching the children. And the children really received kind,gentle education whilst getting their hands dirty.
