Hi All,
I use both “Nettle Tea” and “Comfrey Tea”.
I apply it as a “pick me up” from about mid season on.
The Comfrey is applied to crops which produce flowers, i.e., Tomatoes, Potatoes, whilst the Nettle Tea is applied to Brassicas.
Also when planting out Tomatoes I add a layer of Comfrey Leaves to the compost in the Planter Bags,
As someone stated earlier in this thread, if your using Charles’s method of growing veg it generally should not be necessary to use additional feeding.
You will often read that you should feed your Tomatoes, for instance, with Comfrey weekly. But this advise assumes that you have not added anything to your GPC or soil initially.
In the flower garden I have found that the Comfrey Tea gives fantastic results particularly in hanging baskets when applied on a weekly basis.
Don.
