Every garden needs comfrey. It is so very useful. One way to use it is as a fabulous natural fertiliser for the kitchen garden. Here is one of the simplest ways I know to make Comfrey tea using just comfrey and water in under 5 minutes.
I have comfrey growing in various places throughout the garden - under fruit trees, near the compost, on the edge of the kitchen garden - an a couple in the midst of things like this one.
Step 1: Collect comfrey leaves
Step 2: Tear up leaves into lidded bin
Step 3: Cover with water
Step 4: Wait for 6 weeks
Step 5: Dilute 1:10 with water.
I regularly harvest leaves and turn them into comfrey tea - a simple method using just comfrey and water in a lidded bin.
Comfrey leaves ripped up with water are covered with water then let steep for about 6 weeks - giving them a stir every now and then.
I also use comfrey tea to moisten and activate the soil in the beginning stages of making a no-dig garden. The method I have refined over the past 2 decades is super easy and super effective. Here is my explanation of how to make a no-dig garden.
