Comfrey - FPE - Fermented Plant Extract (almost free nutrient)

[GMO]

Hello again and welcome to another hippie earth lil hack

Comfrey is a great bio accumulator and will search out really deep down nutrients

With an average dry leaf NPK is 1.8-0.5-5.3. comfrey also contains calcium.

So anyways I have bocking 14 in the garden so that's about the hardest thing to source but no doubt you'll wander past some once you know what your looking for

Other items;
Rain water
Molasses
Microbial culture ie LAB or EM1a
A container like a jar or bucket

As I do think I'll be needing vast amounts I've just been using pasta sauce jars

Method;

Collect healthy young growth with no signs of deficiency or pests. You'll only need about 20% the volume of your planned container



I think chopped the leaves to increase the surface area for the microbes to get to work



I went with a tea spoon of molasses for 500ml vessel



Then the same volume microbe inoculant as the molasses



Then just stir till the spoon is clean and label



Leave the lid slightly loose for the first 7 days and after those 7 days give a lil stir and stand for another 7-14 days. Filter off the remaining plant material (feed this to ya worms or compost bin) and your good to store for 6-12 months

Application rates are generally 2ml per litre for soil drench but different crops will vary

I powder my comfrey leaves and give them to the worms to eat. I don't use bocking 14 though as I don't mind mine going to seed. I was supposed to harvest some of the leaves today, but couldn't be bothered in the end. Too far to walk.
