I put some comfrey leaves into water in a covered container last September/October and forgot about it until now. Does anyone have any idea if it is still safe to use as a plant feed, or will the goodness in it have subsided over winter.

I think from what people have said in the past that it should be a really good brew by now! Most people can't keep their mitts off it for that long.Ali

I've still got the stuff I made last summer and it will be getting used this year. I've never heard that it has a "sell by date" so I'll be interested to find out too.Comment

where would the goodness have gone to? How can it get out of the bottle?Originally posted by robertthomson_208 View Post
It's all good, use it.
It will be very sludgey by now though, so pour it on your compost heap and start again if you want a less slimey product for the new season.
Top tip: if you find that the sludge blocks the pouring hole when you tip the bottle, first stuff some fresh leaves in the top of the brew. They act as a sieve, and make pouring easierAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

We still have some Comfrey tea left over in bottles as well, there is no way the goodness can escape, if anything, it will become more concentrated.http://theallotmentplot.weebly.com/index.html
