Today I started making liquid fertilizer from Russian comfrey. Begin with Part 1: Jugs. With those done, I harvested leaves.

Today I started making liquid fertilizer from Russian comfrey. This plant fills a lot of guild roles in permaculture including fertilizer, miner, mulcher, protector, attractor. I have been using it primarily as a bee plant that I can also slash-and-drop several times a season. I grow it under many of my trees and there's some in the prairie garden too.

There are various ways to make liquid fertilizer from comfrey. I will be testing two: 1) a small amount of comfrey leaves in a large amount of water, and 2) only comfrey leaves crammed tightly in a jug. (See Part 2: Leaves.)

Today we visited the Charleston Food Forest.  I took pictures and rescued some plants that were growing in the paths so they don't get trampled. These pictures are mostly from the right side. See Part 2 Left Side.

I've been watching [youtube.com profile] OneYardRevolution Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening lately over on youtube. They do a lot of very precise how-to regarding gardening, and I find it quite soothing to have running in the background, not to mention informative! They focus on things such as what to grow when, how exactly to keep your plants happy, how to build things for the garden, and tend to also mention how to adapt their recommendations for different climates.
