Comfrey - Fermented Plant Extract

Fermented Plant Extracts are a microbial fertilizer and soil conditioner bringing nutrients, microbes and other important bio active compounds.

Comfrey is fermented alongside Synergistic Microbes allowing for the beneficial microbes to multiply and break down the organic matter unlocking the nutrient potential and phyto-compounds locked in the plant matter.

The comfrey plant is extremely rich in macro and micro nutrients as well as amino acids, proteins and vitamins making it a fantastic input to boost plants and soil life.

This can be achieved with most plant material.

Recipe is the same as for Alfalfa FPE

Recipe:

• Material: EM-1
• Blackstrap Molasses
• Plant material
• Water

5L of Activated EM (250ml EM-1, 250ml Blackstrap molasses,250-500ml plant material 4.5L water):

1. Mix in all the ingredients in your container.
2. Close the lid and add an airlock.
3. Let it ferment for 3-5 days in a dark place.
4. Using a pH meter or paper check that the pH is 3.6 or below, when it does, let it ferment for another 5-7 days.
5. By the end you should have a sweet fermented smell very similar to the initial EM-1. Remove the airlock, strain the liquid and store in an airtight container at room temperature away from sunlight. Shelf life is 3-6 months
