Healthy soil and sustainable growing

it's very simple.  There are two ways.  Take a container and fill 
with comfrey leaves then fill with water and cover after a couple of 
weeks it will ferment.  Dilute to a weak tea and use, you cannot keep 
this very long.
The best way is to take a container with either a tap or holes in the 
base.  If you use one with holes in the base you will have to stand 
it in a container or have  one underneath the container with the 
comfrey leaves in.  Place the leaves you have in the container and 
then place a weight on top of the comfrey.  You may need to place a 
board under the weight to support it.  After a few weeks a liquid 
will be pressed out and run into the lower container.  This can then 
be bottled and stored and will keep for years.  Again dilute down to 
a weak tea to use.
there will be no smell to this whereas the first way will stink to high 
heaven.
