Today the girls are going to get the spa treatments a good soaking of a molasses/ mung bean tea 5 gallons per box
I used a bit over 2 cups of molasses for 15 gallons of brew… then I’ll split the bean tea as evenly as possible between the buckets

How long will this molasses/bean tea last on a shelf?

Do you dry the comfrey out before use or just chop it and drop it? Too many questions? Thanks!

No need to shelve it sprout your beans 3 days grind them up in a blender and adding it to the molasses water, all immediatel use items freshness is important!

Not at all questions are great it’s a chop and drop type thing ! Comfrey breaks down very easily and is one of the best quick compost items to use a perfect C:N ratio .

What do mung beans do? Oh and is your comfrey a complete water whore like mine? Man, I flood that bed and a day or two later she’s wilting.

My comfrey is in the north side of my house in the shade most of the day in really good soil Iv only watered it a few times this year… is yours in pots or the ground ? Mung bean provides phosphorus or potassium or both might have to look that one up bit I’m leaning phosphorus on this one.
@Meesh it could’ve that the comfrey roots may not be well established and deep enough yet.

Howdy, I guess you have another thread, too! heh.
My comfrey was moved to the mostly shade because they would dry out fast if I missed it… One is in the ground in the center of a tire planer. The other two are in pots and are actually doing better. The chickens got in the tire planter and kept digging it out until I put a barrier up around it. So, that one is slow to get back with the others. I read where they like being moist but not wet. It’s so dry here that the shade is the only way for me. Boy, they look great now, too.
I’m tagged for this thread now, too @Tinytuttle. I’m really digging all of the rejuvenation gardening info on OG and I’m trying to soak it all in. I was slow to getting into make your own brews and fertilizers, but I’m getting closer. It’s really fun stuff to me. Thanks for sharing yours!

Is the soap making thing in this thread? I’d love to check that out. I’ve always loved knowing how to make and do things myself.
