Since the leaves of comfrey has no fiber, which decompose rapidly a liquid concentrate thick and black. It has 2 to 3 times more potassium than the dung of animals in the regular fertilizer. It also has a low carbon and nitrogen (C: N) and not on the soil nitrogen application beyond. Comfrey grows roots that penetrate deep into the ground, where you get the nutrients that rarely reach the roots of the common facilities. Consequently, collecting nutrients generally not used for other plants.
As for organic garden fertilizer can be used in different ways. It is an effective activator of compost can help to absorb heat and compost nitrogen and potassium into the cell. Just be careful not too much, because comfrey need faster without degradation of fibers in black mud and paste to add more fiber and carbon-rich material for a balanced compost.
It is often used as fertilizer to enjoy the leaves of comfrey liquid in a container with water or juice by dry leaves was collected under the weight of a container with a hole in the ground.
