#comfrey-advice #comfrey here’s an interesting article from #gardennews about the benefits comfrey has as plant food and compost activator. You can scatter the chopped leaves around the base of a plant for feeding or soak the leaves in a makeshift pillowcase Muslin teabag type thing in water and use it to feed flowering plants and fruit and veg plants.

I watched a video about a permaculture gardening and it mentioned the benefits of comfrey. I think chopped leaves are probably better as the comfrey tea is supposedly super stinky. 😁😁
