Home made Comfrey & Nettle fertilizer
« on: June 01, 2011, 13:39 »
Hi All,

Ive made a batch of this fertilizer, are there any veg plants who do not like it? so that I dont ruin anything with too much fertilizer.  What likes it best?

Many thanks

Jools

made some the last 2 years(nettle).....mind the stench when you take the lid off to stir  :blink:

i got told it's best for green leafy plants such as cabbages brockly and so on....cant see it harming anything tho!

My comfrey pipe has been on the go for a few weeks now - I've collected about 2ltrs, with about the same being spilt as I decant it.  :wub:

I dilute exactly 1 slosh per watering can, rightly or wrongly it goes on every.

i use a decent size bucket nearly fill it with nettles...then add water till nettles are covered.........leave for a few weeks then stir...leave it for another few weeks...and use about a pint to a gallon watering can..........thats the way i do it....others may have other/better ways
