    I have used comfrey in my composting bin for many years and find it very useful. I also learned not to place excessive amounts of fresh leaves in the compost also. It quickly breaks down into a dark sludgey liquid without proper amounts of dry material.

    I plan to make the liquid fertilizer from the fresh leaves and also comfrey tea. I have not done this before with them and was wondering if anyone here has? I was hoping someone could share any experience with me and any results. I am trying an experiment with some of my Brugmansia this summer using only comfrey hoping they may thrive and bloom from the mix. If anyone has some tales to share please do so. Thanks so much, Kin
