I love your videos. They are short and to the point, which works great for my busy schedule. You are such a beautiful, knowledgeable woman. Thank you for all you share.

The smell is really something special! I've been using this for a month now and I've had no transplant shock with new plantings. Thank you for sharing.

thanks for this fantastic little "how to"!

I use comfrey every year its great stuff, i also use stinging nettles the same way and they are a lot more potent when fermenting.

Hello.From Houston Texas. I your garden. And I always watching your videos every day!

Great share. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for your videos this one has really boosted my plants!! You are awesome!!

Thank you for your videos, I just came across them and they are so useful to me as a new gardener. ♡ you are also so beautiful and look completely comfortable out in your garden.

Hello Morag Well I made homemade fertilizer with comfrey and weed leaves. Left it for about three weeks then fertilized my vegetable garden. Wow ! My veggies look large and healthy. Thanks for this great tip. Oh and yes the smell....OMG ! But well worth it.

Also great way to get the kids in to shower for bedtime... just fill up one bucket with the tea, approach wild preoccupied unsuspecting children... pivot your pitching foot forward and thrust the bucket forward at said children. The trick is to keep your back straight and your eyes on the target.

Great info, thanks.

Going to make this straightaway...thank you Morag for the info

I'm a lover of comfrey I'm making tea too it's brilliant stuff you've been an inspiration

this is interesting I use the comfrey leaves as well as the weeds anything that's growing I usually used as fertilizer.

Very good

Absolutely amazing! But, how often would you water with comfrey tea? Is it something you do all the time or would that be too much fertilizer??? Help!

good info

Hi Morag particularly here in Adelaide where it is said, we don’t have tap water we in fact have toxic waste I make sure that I use rainwater from the tank. Also I mix all manner of organic fertilisers in a clean concrete mixer my lovely wife bought me.

This is a real woman.

I wanted to tell you how you have inspired me. I raise ducks and geese on my tiny permaculture homestead in the far northwest corner of the continental USA. When they were tiny ducklings and goslings, I referred to them as 'lings and continue to do so now that they are 18 months old. There are 7 geese and 17 ducks. The 'lings love comfrey (and most greens). They also love chopped veggies floating in their pools and tubs of water. Today, for the first time, I gathered a couple of armfuls of fresh comfrey and threw it in several pools and tubs of fresh water. There must be many bathing containers because of the strict but dynamic pecking order. Each newly filled tub is christened by the highest ranking birds, and then open for the general public. One would have thought they were in paradise or perhaps at a Roman orgy. Plenty of dining and bathing, ecstatic flapping and cavorting, and bird coupling all across the yard. Crazy birds jumping out of the water to run around like mad dogs, then jumping back into another leafy pool. There was so much comfrey that much of it floated in the water all day. Late in the afternoon, I removed the stalks from the water and left the leaf filets. By the time I went out to put them up for the night, there were very few comfrey ribs on the ground or leaves left in the dark chocolate-colored water. They apparently love comfrey soup, vastly preferring it to the fresh water I poured for them at bedtime. The majority of this took place over the thick layer of "hog fuel" wood chips in the aviary dooryard; I hope the worms are enjoying the comfrey soup as much as the 'lings did.

Really enjoying your videos, SO much information!!! My question - you state comfrey tea a great fertilizer. Do you know what nutrients or numbers of N_P_K it would contain? I am sure it is a good boost to all plantings yet I would like to know WHAT it is contributing thank you

I only just discovered your channel and I love it. I am planning a big move soon, from the Arizona desert to Oklahoma. I am trying to plan a head and learn the best way to start a sustainable garden when I get there. This will be new to me as I've only grown a small container garden here. I am told the soil where I'm moving is very clay filled, so I'm thinking raised beds might be the best option. Plus, the winters are very cold there. I'll be arriving late February. Any advise you might have for me would be greatly appreciated. I want to start composting for the first time. I'm doing research at this time, studying different methods. I'd like to thank you for such an informative blog & video series.

Love it! Will comfrey tea help neutralise the PH? I have very alkaline soil and I'm trying to boost the acidity. What suggestions do you have please? Thanks so much love your work!

Hi Morag, I'm really enjoying your videos, thank you. With your large blue comfrey/weed tea drum, how do you prevent mosquitoes breeding in the liquid?

Hi Morag! Thank you for posting such wonderful videos, I absolutely love them! I was wondering what variety of comfrey you have planted and where I can find seeds to buy. I'm in USA. Also, do you have any videos or advice on mulching berry bushes and fruit trees? Thank you!

If you believe something works ... it works!

Thank you Morag for this inspiring video. I followed these simple instructions and my tea is now almost 7 weeks old. I have started to use it in my gardens as you mentioned with the 10-1 dilution and the plants are happier as a result. I am wondering how often I can water in this way with a watering can? Once a week? More or less? Also, I do have some flies and larva in my container of comfrey tea even though I have mostly kept the lid on. Is this something to be concerned about? A friend asked if I should have a bubbler in it to prevent it from going bad? How would I know if it was not viable anymore? How long can I use it? Is it better with age or should I use it all by a certain number of weeks? It is very hot this summer in North America where I live in Ohio. Thanks for sharing, I would love a follow up video as I see I’m not the only one with similar questions.

Hi Morag, how long do you keep your comfrey tea? Is there any best before date? Thanks.

I just discovered your channel yesterday. Really awesome! I wish I was a neighbor. :D I wish my garden was to the point where it would self-seed. Now I'm feeling lucky just to get any fruit coming out at all. I'm also a Californian who just learned the plants have seasons here too. lol

Hi Morag thank you for the great video. how much do u water the tea down.

Do you think this could be used for indoor plants as well? I use fish emulsion and can no longer stand the smell☺️

Other sites discredit compost type teas and bandy about terms like ecoli. I am confused. Most compost tea recipes call for dunking a cloth bag into water for a couple hours. I am guessing because your comfrey and compost tea ferments for weeks, it kills off...?? Please advise. Also can you use dandilion ad a substitute?

Good morning. This is not a house for mosquitos? I have a little planst here and there that I call garden. But the truth is I don't know nothing about it. I like your videos. I recently found you looking for a video that help me "convert" an area covering by grass in my front yard to a little flower garden. I was looking the way to kill the grass easy and fast. I am living in Wisconsin USA. I want to give time to the plants to recovering before the cild water come. I dig the area and flip the grass, put some "round up" to kill it. I don't know if this is working yet. But today I want to try the newspaper. I wet the soil that is flip and later I want to turn the grass face it up; put the newspaper. I don't really know what I am doing. My question. I am doing something right? Am I in the right direction? Or I messed everything up. I will try to do what you do in your garden. For now I don't have any of the materials or plants that you have. I know takes time to build what you have. I will start maybe in two years I will see results not like yours but some.

Does Comfrey need some shade? Im new to gardening and Comfrey is something i would like to grow. I have planted a few seeds of Russian Comfrey after leaving them in the freezer. I'm near Bundy which has been very very dry over the past 2 years. My soil is terrible, sandy dust describes it best. I am trying a few things, but its not a quicky to grow enough to produce to make compost. Ill get there 😉.

Can you teach us to make comfrey salve

Hey guys, new to growing my vegies - can I use comfrey tea in the bottom of a wicker bed and if so what ration?

Great channel Morag :) I was wondering what the source of your water hose is? I would like to know, as in UK tap water is full of chemicals, which has a negative effect on the beneficial microbes etc. I'm assuming yours is from a rainwater container somewhere? Thanks

Hello Morag, I have been cultivating the Russian Comfrey for 2 years now with excellent results, thank you. I do have a question- I have made the comfrey tea, my tomatoes are just starting to fruit and I deep root water twice weekly. Should I feed them the diluted tea once a week, or every time I water?

I will definitely try this, thank you! I suggest adding leaf mold from JADAM method. Garden Like a Viking on YT also teaches this method.

About 3 weeks ago I planted my first comfrey plant and it produced some leaves. How long do I wait before I begin propagating? Can you store roots or they have to go into the soil/pot right away?

Would this take the place of fish fertilizer or cow manure?

i am making a new garden for next year , would comfrey tea be good to put into the garden once a week or so to have it ready for next year ?

Morag I would to know where is the best place to plant comfrey and borage? Because where I have it planted it seems stunted and has not grown much since I moved into my new home in July 2016, how can I encourage more growth from these wonderful plants?

I am trying to buy comfrey seeds, but i would like to know do the leaves look different when it shoots up with flowers? Most images I see have pointy leaves.

Will comfrey grow well in Texas?

So does it have to ferment or can I use a blender lighlty and bubble with my compost tea for a couple days? Or would it need to be a different process?

Hi Morag, one more question, does comfrey tea or comfrey leaves (when spread in the garden) affect pH? I have very alkaline soil and water from my well, and I don't want the pH to be any more alkaline than it already is. Thanks

But i've read on various vlogs that comfrey should not be taken internally because it causes liver damage. Would love to make a comfrey infusion (Susun W) to heal my broken leg

Why has my comfrey developed a mould? It was white mould it was not a foam of fermentation. Can I still use it or dispose it?

Do you need a 'bubbler' aerator to keep the tea from rotting?

The comfrey tea you make need to be diluted with 10 parts of water, right? Can you use straight comfrey tea? Is it going to burn plants, over fertilize or something? Thanks!

Someone should give this another name my friend was actually drinking this as a tea, because it's called comfrey tea.

Can you aerate the comfrey tea with a fish tank aerator while its brewing to reduce the smell?

2 Questions . Can you mix in shook pooh with comfrey to make an even better organic fertilising tea? 2nd. Question. Instead of comfrey, does Lucerne make a good substitute?

I made a "super fine net", to Get the Mosquitoe Larva Out, before they turn into Mosquitoes. Does yours attract Mosquitoes? .

can you use the comfrey tea to water your flowers

oh wow I thought you were making tea to drink...ahhaha

Awesome. That's the first time I've seen someone use Comfrey as a compost tea. Awesome job. So how often do U water with this tea ? Thanx so much my green thumb friend 4 sharing. I absolutely Luv growing everything that God lets me grow.

Keeping a lid on also prevents little critters from drowning... and really smelling badly

You're a Beautiful Lady...no more like you...you live like our grandparents lived...do you have a twin sister in Texas?

Where can I buy Comfrey plants from in Australia?

Is this good for people with arthritis in your fingers?

How strong is this lady?!?!?!

What is "chuck poo"? (4:11 "Comfrey tea. It's almost as potent as chuck poo.")

Hi, I am an athlete who trains 3- 5 hours per day, 6 days/week. I would like to use comfrey to help me heal/recovery faster after workouts. How much dried sifted/cut comfrey leaf and/or root can I ingest per day to recover/heal faster after extremely hard workouts(i train for the decathlon) and also to prevent injuries? Also, how much can a non athlete person take to aid in healing? I read a story of a woman with cancer who went on a indian reservation and an indian elders told her to eat 3- 4 fresh leaves of comfrey per day and she was healed of cancer in a few weeks.. I guess if it heals cancer it should be safe for the liver as well .. also read stories of how it heals the liver... its kind of weird this liver damaging propaganda..

I notice you never say anything about eating it, why not when it is so good for you!

I'm not sure I would dunk my chocolate digestives in that!

I use comfrey leaves to make a salve and it has fixed many an ailment for my mates. HOWEVER - these days, the consistent advice is that you should NEVER take it internally - unless you want some liver damage on the side. The alkaloids within the plant are simply no good for your insides. But I do find it to be the best pain reliever I have ever used and I remember my gym, many years ago, calling it knitbone because it assisted fractures. Please DO NOT ingest it - all comfrey plants actually have that stated on their labels these days.

Comfrey Tea?... I'm not drinking that lol! I thought this was for a herbal beverage. Is there such a thing? I'm lost.

I read your name as Mortgage Gamble 😭😂😭

I am trying to locate comfrey plants, no luck so far. Holy smokes, hands of steel...I have never seen anyone, men included who handle comfrey without gloves because of the stickery hairs that irritate the skin!!
