(Yet) Another way to use comfrey.

Last year, when I planted out my tomato plants, I dug the planting holes a little deeper and stuffed a handful or two of chopped comfrey in the bottom. They loved it, and fruited well into the autumn. Might be worth trying with other annual fruits, eg courgettes.

Comfrey is good for flowering and fruiting plants. If you can stand the smell it makes an excellent "tea" which can then be dliuted and used as a foliar feed or watered on at the roots.
My garage fridge is full of comfrey tea and nettle tea! It stank in the making, but is OK now. I put the chopped plants in net bags inside the jars, then lift them out after a few weeks and put the sludge in the compost bin.
