Comfrey Tonic
Make a Comfrey Tonic medicine for your seedlings.
This should take about 60 mins
You will need:
- comfrey plant
- bucket
- water
- gardening gloves
- spray bottle
- something heavy (e.g. stones/rocks a brick)
Remember to ask a Grown-up for help.
What to do:
Step 1
Put your gardening gloves on. It is also a good idea to wear something with long sleeves such as a jumper or coat because the Comfrey Tonic is a skin irritant.
Step 2
Fill your bucket half way with water.
Step 3
Pick lots of leaves off of your comfrey plant and add to the bucket of water. Once you have enough leaves in the bucket, drop something heavy in the water such as a brick to weigh the leaves the down.
Step 4
Place the plant mixture in Compo! Don’t have your own Compo? You’ll need to leave it to set for a month.
Step 5
After a month, dilute your comfrey tonic with at least equal parts water and then put into a spray bottle and you’re ready to spray the leaves with your plant medicine.
