Happens to mine too - on stems where the flowers have not been pollinated. Just snip them off.Last edited by veggiechicken; 11-08-2017, 10:08 AM.

Yes that is why I suggested a known value feed, not a guesstimate.
There has been quite a discussion on comfrey tea all over the world, a lot of organic gardeners swear by it but science does not.
Recent analysis reveals it is not a 'dynamic accumulator' a plant that is better at accumulating of NPK than others in fact it is very average.
In some reports not all by any means dry NPK averages 3-1.5-5 whilst a tea made with 6kg of leaves and 90ltrs of water averages 0.014-0.0059-0.34.
This could be worth while when used in a plot along with other measures but I don't think it stands up as a sole feed it certainly would not be good enough for me as I grow in containers.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Those are slow release fertilisers so in this case wouldn't work so well. A feed that is watered in will work much faster, preferably with the correct NPK for your plant needs.
