If you're able to grow it in a fully desertified area, then it's gotta be the cultivar I'm working with here. Mine was marked "Bocking 14," which is the non-invasive cultivar, IIRC.Probably your supplier, Seamaiden.
I've had success growing pre-hardened Comfrey in an African desert and have had no problem and it is considered a weed here in drought-stricken Africa. It grows in US hardiness zones 2-9.
It also has a major benefit on pest control and can be used as a foliage spray that prevents powdery mildew.
That's a pretty good basis for teas, although there are cautions with using unresearched plant material one doesn't know, for instance: allelopathy, flower pathogens, disease carriers, etc.
Hey John, what I've learned is that it's best to do a tea every 10 days. Having one for aminos, one for mycos, and one for food.
Usually using corn seed meal, kelp and alfalfa meal, eatthworm castings, small amounts of coconut oil/honey blend. This honey I use as a suger and probiotiv is phenomenal.
I also use this spray you can get at organic markets, it's call aminos. A full serving is 1/2 tsp so I use one spray for a gallon that later gets diluted....
Usually my mykos is 1 cup to 4 gallons, 1/3 cup molasses to every 4 gallons,
Ratio of 1:4 for alfalfa to kelp meal mix and adding 2 tbls for 4 gallons or so.
The corn seed is used in smaller amounts. 1-2 tblsp.
Coconut oil honey blend 1 teaspoon.
Not a problem man, that's what we're here for. To help each other n stuff. But Uhm, yeah just tweek the recipes to how your plants are looking. the cool thing about teas it's hard to overdo it because the plants pick and choose. :)Thank you N, Harley that's what I needed to know, New to the site so if I miss thanking anybody I'm going to apologize now, and probably again later, thank you.
I use comfrey ,stinging nettles, dandylion root , plantain and aloe Vera in my teas .......great stuff!!!!!Hey Narley
Glad to sea someone else using organic teas.
For flowering I use a Comfrey tea which has roughly a 2:0.6:5 NPK. To increase micro-organisms I use worm tea. I had a friend who added rabbit manure tea which is high in Phosphorus. I'd err on the side of using bonemeal and pure phosphorus in teas as it has the tendency to burn roots.
Comfrey grows like a weed but is beneficial in all gardens.
To make the tea just leave two handfulls of leaves in a coveres bucket of water for two weeks and BOOM, a high potassium fertilizer. It's a good idea to dilute up to 1:15l of water, though. I get really dense buds with these.
Let me know how it goes!
