    ... and Comfrey tea is higher in potash. It stinks but it's free

    (I don't know how comfrey compares to Vitax, not being very good at maths. Are you able to work it out, I'd be very interested to know x)

      2 Sheds sorry I don't have any info on a direct comparison between comfrey and Vitax.

      However I do have info between comfrey and tomorite. The comfrey tea was made using 14lbs of comfrey in a 20 gallon tank, the results of the comparison were given in percentage's which may interest you as it proves your point.

      Tomorite, N 0.0130% P 0.0093% K 0.0139%

      Comfrey, N 0.0140% P 0.0059% K 0.0340%

      It would seem that comfrey is lacking only in phosphorus but the potash levels are well higher and I would suggest compare favourably with Vitax.

      Suffice to say if I had somewhere to grow it I would use it before anything else as a high potash feed.
