    The feeds

    I'm still trying to work out what does what..

    So we have:

    nettle tea - nitrogen, leafy growth
    comfrey - erm what does that do?
    tomato feed - good for fruiting
    bokashi tea - I know it's good, but is it just full of nutrients?
    worm tea - does it do the same job as nettle tea?
    seaweed - what on earth does that do? Should I get some?

      Comfrey and seaweed are both good potassium feeds, good for fruiting/flowering or finishing i.e. hardening plants for winter rigours or for seeding or setting tubers!

          Comfrey grows wild - have a look in shady, woodland type places.

            Isn't it best to get the Bocking 14 comfrey, so it don't seed all over the place?

            eBay has some, but you have to use paypal most of the time! Which I can never get to work

              If you want it in your garden, yes.
              If you just want a few leaves, gather some from the wild ... they soon regrow.
