Comfrey Fertilizer Whenever You Want It!

I always forget to start a batch of comfrey tea for fertilizing until the day I want it. At that point I would have had to start it at least several days ahead.
I watched a ‪@1000sofroots‬ video and saw that they had comfrey tea on tap and I knew I needed that for sure. They didn't tell how, so I put my husband on the job. He made a foundation for the barrel to sit on and we found a place close by that sells barrels from their home. They are all food grade and clean and the seal on this one is great.
I hope your garden is doing well. If you want comfrey but don't have any just ask at a garden group in your area, possibly on Facebook. There are so many people willing to share the plant for you to replant or for you to use for tea.
Blessings on your growing,
Penny and Mark

This is just genius. I have gardened for at least 40 years and wondered how I had never heard of this plant. On researching it I found it does not survive zone 3 winters where I live. I wonder if anyone knows of a similar plant that survives our -40°F winters? I am happy to report that last year my husband had the rain gutters replaced and designed a system that collects rain water in 3 big rain barrels. I am getting quite a workout hand watering our extensive flower gardens and our small veggie patch. Until I discover a similar plant that survives our winters, I will top dress with compost every spring and use the blue commercial stuff- yes Miracle Gro I'm talking about you. Thanks for the interesting less and blessings to you and yours. Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's.

Barb, I am sorry it does not grow there. Do you have dandelions? You could use those as well. Maybe that will work.

Congratulations on your new fertilizer manufacturing station! I'm jealous but thanks to you and Mark, I can get one for myself. Now if I could only grow comfrey before the deer eat it all! LOL

Thanks, Mary! I’m so glad you’re going to be able to have one of your own. You might have to just put a straw in it in case the deer want to drink it 🤣🤣🤣.
