Title: Comfrey tea
Post by: vanessa.xx on June 09, 2013, 19:28

My very first batch of comfrey tea has been brewing for just over a month and my squash were looking a little sad so I thought I'd give them a bit,  :unsure: that smell!! I have to say that is the most rancid foul smell I have ever smelt ever! Hubby said he couldn't really smell it so he now had comfrey tea duty  :lol:

 :) I just used my first try at nettle tea....phew what a stink.
I splashed a few drops on my dog and had to bath her as soon as we got home :wub:

I have lots of nettle juice and not too much comfrey. Will nettle do the same for toms etc as comfrey ?
