    I've used comfrey tea which was 3 years old (stored in 2l plastic bottles) without detriment.  Difficult to say if it was still as potent as freshly made stuff, but I didn't notice any reduction in crops.  If in doubt, you could always pour it over a compost heap where it would work as an excellent activator, or even water it over your borders.  Don't pour it down a drain though, whatever you decide to do as nitrates are a big problem for water treatment plants.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
