Hello Folks,
 
Please excuse this non-compost tea related question.
 
Does anyone have any experience with or information about using comfrey
tea on plants? Comfrey tea is made by soaking comfrey leaves in water
for a long period of time. It really stinks when its done, definitely
anaerobic. Our head gardener has been using it here for years as a
fertilizer applied to the soil. Just wondering if anyone has any
experience with it?
 
Anyone have any idea of what kind of microorganisms would be inhabiting
such a concoction?
 
Thanks.
