Bringing food production home

With an AP system running all the time I have extra air lines to brew. Brewing compost is a great way of using bacteria to break it down into a more plant usable form. I add just about anything from fish poo, worms castings and juice to compost and dipel.

Got comfrey boys?

Ton of the stuff. I let it rot a little before putting it into the brew. Was surprised how much it breaks down in water.

Hey Duff, You serve scones with that tea? Looks like a strong brew!! Scuse my ignorance but what is the benefit of comfrey?

Has a big tap root that makes it able to mine the subsoil. More goodies in comfrey than horse manure.http://www.herbsarespecial.com.au/isabe ... bones.html

I make what I call 'weed pee' from all the weeds that I can't put on the compost (eg, seed heads, kikuyu, etc). Put them in a large container, add a little llama poo and water and leave until rotten. Then strain the liquid and use it at weak tea strength on the garden. The rotten weeds are then OK to go into the compost.
