I've always relied on comfrey liquid. Beg a plant or two of comfrey from friends and get a patch growing. When it is growing well each spring cut it down and allow the leaves to decompose in a bucket of water. You will need to cover it and keep it well away from the house. As soon as it smells like pig manure strain the liquid into bottles to use as a liquid fertiliser which you will need to dilute before use. The slurry goes into the compost bin and does a great job there. Once your comfrey patch is established it can be "harvested" 2 or 3 times a year.
I too swear by comfrey now it gives excellent results, I feed once a week, my method of making it is to fill a plastic dustbin half full with chopped up comfrey and then fill with water to just above the plant material. As above wait till the perfume is strong I mix two pints to a 10Ltr watering can. Top up with water and fresh plant material as and when required.
