I noticed a lot of fresh young growth on the nettles and comfrey where they grow wild in the lane at the bottom of my garden last weekend and took the opportunity to hack a load down and soak them in some buckets of water. These will then rot down over the next few weeks and I'll drain off the resultant 'soups' and use them as feeds on my tomatoes, alternating them both with the usual proprietary tomato feeds such as Tomorite.
The comfrey is high in potash and the nettles high in nitrogen so I'll also use this for foliar feeding my cabbages also.
