I have a bed of comfrey but not enough room to grow a lot. How do you make a
liquid feed from comfrey? It sounds like ideal fertilizer with the deep
minerals and all. ~paul

You don't need much. Just cut some leaves, put in a bucket of water, and allow it to get stinky. Then dilute and use, either root application or foliar. If you've used manure tea, think in those terms. Don't worry about precision--like so much of what we do, it's touchie-feelie, not rocket science.

A person dependent on somebody else for everything from potatoes to opinions may
declare that he is a free man, and his government may issue a certificate granting him
his freedom, but he will not be free. He is that variety of specialist known as a
consumer, which means that he is the abject dependent of producers. How can he be free
if he can do nothing for himself? What is the First Amendment to him whose mouth is
stuck to the tit of the "affluent society"? ~Wendell Berry
