Homemade Fertilizer Using Comfrey Tea
A simple homemade comfrey tea fertilizer recipe to naturally boost your plants’ health. Easy to make with just comfrey and water.
Materials
- Comfrey
- Water
- Jar
Instructions
- Add your comfrey to your glass jar, about ¾ full.
- Fill the rest with water.
- Add your lid and secure it tightly. Leave for 6+ weeks.
- If you don’t want to wait 6+ weeks for your comfrey tea to brew, you can also make a quick heat infusion! Heat the pot over low heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. You don’t want a rolling boil just a soft simmer that warms the water and helps release all those good nutrients.Let it simmer for a couple hours. After simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for several hours or overnight.
- Then strain out the comfrey leaves.
- Dilute the strong comfrey tea with water 1 to 1 and add to your garden soil to help fertilize it.
Notes
- Fresh comfrey leaves do work best, but I used dried and it worked great too.
- This smells pretty bad, so keep it outside!
