you can get lots of bacteria, you will get less fungal material by the sounds of it, but comfrey has some good yeasts etc, including many antibiotic types and also bio control so its a good choice for plants susceptible to white rots, eg cabbages and so on.i want to make IMO but nothing but crappy ceder trees around here,just went out early morning sunday and got some comfrey tips and stinging nettle to make some good stuff into a FPJ,i love that shit,when them plants start to flower you can really tell the difrence,,but imo i would have to travel far to collect and wouldnt be anything close to the envoriment i live ,cactus,comfrey,nettle,oak,hickory and more freaking ceder trees than all of it combined ahaah,got a tree next to a comfrey/stinging nettle patch thought about trying it for IMO what you think?
I dont use nettle feeds on mycorrhizal plants but I would use them on my brassicas for example.
I have been using lots of FPJ made from squash on my tomatoes etc, seems to be working well. I found its also a great feed for lawn grass and as a mineral treatment. Anything that seeds inside the fruit it works well on.
It has good PK values and lots of compounds known to reduce UV impacts. They grow easily here, I bet they will with you too, and we always have ones we either dont sell...too big, or just ripen after bulk sale.
i eat them all the time, but we still have left overs which i made into FPJ and liked
