Grow your own fertilizer

With the frosts approaching, the comfrey season has come to an end. If you’re planning what to grow in your garden next year, comfrey is well worth considering – if you don’t have a plant or two already – because it can mine minerals from the subsoil and store them in its leaves. And you can then use the leaves for fertilizing other plants.
For the whole story, check out my latest article: Grow Your Own Fertilizer.
Episode 33 of The Alternative Kitchen Garden is all about slugs, and is well worth checking out if you’re looking for environmentally friendly ways to deal with a slug menace. Alternatively, if you prefer the written word, the edited highlights are available in an article: Non-toxic slug control for your garden.
