So I understand this is a fermentation process? I don’t really get it. My concern is won’t the bacteria become anaerobic without oxygen present? What am I missing?
Good video. I’ve grown comfrey for many years and while I believe it provides many essential nutrients as a “dynamic accumulator”, I also know there are other well-known and common crops that can provide similar nutrient values.
To my mind, the value of comfrey is that it provides me with at least four “crops” each season. I use it as a mulch and as an addition to my home compost.
I’ve never been a believer in “teas” of any variety as I’ve found no objective, scientific basis that indicates there is a benefit (I’m lazy and don’t do things in my garden that haven’t been proven to be measurably beneficial).
Relating to harvesting, I’m rather rough. I simply grab a handful of comfrey leaves and using a large, sharp knife, slice the stems off about two inches from the base. The plants always recover well.
I’ve read that comfrey can be quite invasive unless you grow a sterile variety. So I started my comfrey with some Bocking 14 root cuttings. I have since taken many root cuttings and transplanted them appropriately. That’s easy to do.
That’s my two cents. I always enjoy your videos. Cheers.
To make my comfrey liquid I use a small rain butt with a tap and a tight fitting lid to keep the insects out. It holds an amazing amount of fresh comfrey. As the comfrey disintegrates, it turns into a rich brown liquid which can be drawn off via the tap. It is quite a lot stronger than comfrey tea made in a bucket with water. For seedlings and young vegetables, I usually add a cup of comfrey liquid to a full watering can. As the plants grow bigger I add two cups of comfrey.
Should of showed how you brewed your tea. Cause it works better than that.
Good morning Dr. Tom! My family has had this plant in our garden all my life. My grandmother who was in her seventies, used to take care of elderly women in her home. I vividly remember one little lady who had a stroke and was confined to bed. Grandma did all she could to keep the lady moved in the bed where she wouldn’t lay and get bedsores but eventually the bedsores came. The doctor was called to the home and he treated the lady for her bedsores but they just got worse and worse., Eventually huge holes happened into her skin where the skin was decomposing. Dad got some of his comfrey powdered it up clean the wound every day with peroxide and then sprinkled on the comfrey powder on the bed sore, within weeks the bed sores were gone! The smell from that decomposing skin was horrible. But after the comfrey did its job, the skin that was there looks like brand-new baby skin. What a blessing Herbal remedies have been to our family! if only more people believed in it and use them. I believe if we use what was placed on this earth for us to use naturally, we would know sooner have to call a doctor then we would a lawyer. Smiles Layna and Robert from USA
Thanks sharing this video about comfrey.I have some questions, how will this plant replenish itself if the leaves are harvested to fertilize else where. Will the soil be depleted eventually after time in the same spot? As I was thinking to plant them under fruit trees as a ground cover, will that take all the goodness from the soil from the fruit tree?
I grew comfrey for about 3 years and I to make comfrey tea my plants love it
I have an idea: LOOK UP gallstones and iron deficiency.
I am asking bc i had mine removed some days ago (I really didn’t want to but I felt like I had no choice). I was also said to be low in iron on a yearly check up unrelated to the gallbladder but same doctor. So now I am kinda pissed off bc I lost an organ that there might have been a chance I could have kept. I realized this today unfortunately. But I wonder what you can find and breakdown.
Also on the merck 1899 manual it list iron as a solvent for gallstones.
If your soil is fertile from compose to begin with, then water or tea will make no difference. If your soil is in poor shape then the compost tea will be of great help to your plants.
46 years as a plumber, 40 years gardening off and on,Why didn’t I have a comfrey pipe? ☺️ However have been growing bocking 14 this year and put some in a container to make liquid feed,will get some pipe rigged up like yours Tony,think I can manage,great vid keep up the good work.
My question would be this. Assume that the Tea does work, and I would agree that it probably does. Doesn´t that just diminish the nutrients in your compost? And now you have to worry about the microbes dying off due to lack of aeration whereas you could just keep the microbes happily living in the compost and use the compost on your plants which would produce a more slow, long lasting feeding for your plants.
When the government tells us not take something that is natural it usually means that it works too good. They don’t want to actually heal disease but just to live with it and treat symptoms to make it a little less miserable. Pathetic isn’t it?
thanks for showing this to me, I appreciate your research. The truth is important.
This is great, thank you for making the video! can i ask how long you store the pipe liquid for?
NSAIDS tried to kill me and they are approved by the government! Don’t over do anything.
good day to you Tony!! fantastic advice and information on how to make comfrey tea and a comfrey pipe to collect the rich fertilizer!! ��������✝
