Almoe = alone? Dunno what 'chais' refers to. Is the marmalade basically just whole citrus and stevia cooked down to the desired consistency? > >And, bone and blood meal are *way* less > > vile than the comfrey fertilizer I make at home (comfrey leaves > > allowed to rot in a bucket of water for several weeks... stinks to > > hell and back.) > > What specifically does the tea bring to the soil? I assume whatever compost tea would bring to the soil. There might also be desirable plant growth hormones in it, as comfrey is an extremely vigorous grower. It's one of the very first plants to start up in spring, and by late May - early June, there's a huge growth that you can cut completely off at ground level. After BushCo's nookuler winter, the only thing left will be comfrey, cockroaches, and kudzu. > I have tried successfully something you mentioned per your practice -- > some time ago.

Esepcially on warm days. I'm kinda down on that right now because two potted plants died this summer after getting several waterings with well diluted pee. I lost a California bay and a Thai lime. I wonder if it's the sodium content; pee is kinda salty, and some plants might not like that. These were indoor plants, so I'll limit its use to outdoor plants that get flushed out with rain. The petunias outside in pots are thriving just fine on pee. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
