Comfrey tea legislation

Chris,

You assume they the 'comfrey police' would know the difference, just tell them its roses with a slightly different odour.

I noticed that Incy, but did a web search which should have included France.

Try searching "tea du comfrey" lol

I don't see how "they " can ban pouring water onto comfrey or nettles, without also banning pouring water onto camellia (sinensis)

Funny you should say that because their was (amongst others) a New Zealand MP (Jacqui Dean) that had asked that it should be banned (water that is).

The garlic and water spray I use to control aphids is ilegal too, so i've been told.

They are always going on about using garlic spray on Beechgrove.. if it illegal then maybe i should try it..

Thats right, I heard them say something about garlic extract this week.

You can still buy sprays made with garlic so they must be O.K.

You'll need a licence to brew a cuppa soon the way the EU are going!

It would be taxed first, or rather you would be taxed on breathing out

Ooh, you lot made me curious and I looked up the rhubarb mix. Can't use it though, because it looks like it would attract dogs who would be poisoned if they licked it.

Had a friend around yesterday who asked what I was doing - sitting in the shade pushing comfrey leaves into milk containers. He seemed quite interested and wanted to see 'one I'd made earlier' I did warn him that it stank but he insisted on taking a good sniff - that made his eyes water! Even more impressed when I told him it would be illegal in France - ripped up a seedling and took it with him. . .just in case they ever make it illegal here!!
