i got a 5 gal bucket full comfrey,,been sitting in the sun about a month now,,dont no how use the shit,,hadnt had time to investgate it,lmao,,but think its broke down to about 3/4 bucket now with the stinkest shit you could imagine ,lmao had on back porch for couple weeks and had to move that shit,lol

yes it reeks mate big time. It is awesome, you can ferment it and use it up to about week 3 bloom at a rate of 1ml per litre or 1 tsp per 1.5 gallons US.
It is great for delivering amino N and Organic K, but it does pre ripen pistols if used in correctly reference timings, a bit like Kelp if you get me?.
I use it from day 7 to day 21 bloom only as a liquid feed, but I use it as a mulch across the grow, this works really well imo and saves you have to bottle it and get that smell bro.
You will find many elements fit in to this time line anyway bro, post day 21 flush you will need more N than Comfrey can deliver alone, but you can use it to tweak branching both above and below, and for increasing flower bud sites. Once you have flower set stop using it. It can delay harvest if used on formed fruit, great if you want to prolong your picking period, bad if you have a time line or want a plant finished, this only applies to the liquid applications mate, a mulch wont give you this headaches as access to the related compounds which cause this are slowed or non existent. Fermenting it changes a few proteins in the material as a consequence of secondary metabolites secreted by the microbes in anaerobic states, these remain viable for up to 12 months in the liquid.

Hope that helps

didnt happen,got to house and truckm broke down,,so bettween that and the house ,got a full 10 hrs misery in,,lol but pain be telling me ,IT'S ALIVE,lol

true story mate. I ache like I been hit by a truck some days. I just drink more chaga juice and olive oil and get on with it. Trees dont prune themselves anyways LOL. I have cuts which are on cuts. Everything here is either spiking you, scratching you, or plain stabbing you. I have hands that look like I ran them over a shredder, insect bites and now its raining which will bing out the mosquitoes.

I am trying to get my nematodes finished and have 200 more trees to prune and treat with the Bokashi we made. I will try to get some pictures of the trees today and show what i am doing, no one wants to see my hands LOL

navelinas are big fat segmented eating oranges. they are super mate. The quality of the citrus fruit here is really awesome.
I am super lucky i have about 7 orange types, i have 3 lemon types, 2 mandarins, 2 Guava trees (just planted - Imperial and White) I have grapefruit (red ruby and oro blanco) 2 star fruit treees, a wood apple, a few soursop or custard apples (graviola if you know this? - anti cancer tree) and finally i have several Nispero trees, these are a little like Kumquats.
On top of this I have Walnuts, Almonds (2 strains) Pistachio Verde, and 2 huge date palms.
Accros the road I have 400 Olive trees ;-)

I am super dooper happy man. Shit loads of work, but what else would i be doing?

Beautiful place! It sounds like a labor of love!

yes it is. The land has been widely abused. The pic wih the palm is a fine example of what i am left with after years of herbicide, pesticide and fungicide use. The land is totaled this side brother, it will take a few months just to get the remediation work completed phase 1. its a sorry state, but how and why someone didnt see the system collapse which is fairly obvious and begin to question the practices before i got here I will never know.
The road to ruination was laid by big ag giants, and lowly educated farmers were no where near prepared enough to defend against the bullshit they spoke. i dont blame the farmers man, i blame the wankers in the universities that have allowed what should be non partisan human development center, to be overrun by profit perverted narratives as if this is fact and farming.
