Seems like an unnecessary amount of work. Why not just let it break down a bit in a bucket of water? What is the point of making a concentrate? I've seen that idea before, but couldn't work out why it was an improvement. Peggy
Excellent. I never have enough spare comfrey to experiment with. The hens eat all the plants can spare, so except for a few broken or ratty leaves that go into a general weed soup, all the comfrey comes to the garden preprocessed through the hens.
Maybe the idea was developed for/by people in cold climates who have a short harvesting season. I can see that a concentrate would be easier to store.
While my plants stop growing over winter, this year they didn't even frost off, so they should take off early this spring; it is only a very short time I don't have plants actively growing.

Yep, all good points Polly Oz.
I'm going to have to give it a go and evaluate the results.
Watch this space, as they say in the classics.
