A blue water butt with a lid (uses and ideas)

So we thought we could make a whole tub of comfrey or nettle tea. Won't the neighbours be thrilled with that lovely smell. Lol

It will be hubby's job to take the lid off until august as I am currently pregnant and that smell may just send me over the edge. The plants seem to like it  :lol:

A tap below is definitely a great idea for comfrey liquid concentrate as per THIS. Stinks to high heaven but it's wonderful stuff.

Herbs don't like rich soil or rich feeds, so give them a miss. Otherwise, I think most regular veg don't mind a light feeding but I wouldn't give carrots or parsnips too much if any.
