FAQs

How often should I use the comfrey pellets?

For soil application, apply once in spring. For liquid feed, apply every 2-4 weeks during the active growing season, depending on plant needs and stage of growth.

Can I use this on all types of plants?

Yes, it is suitable for most garden plants, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, and shrubs. It is particularly beneficial for plants that require sustained feeding for flowering and fruiting.

What is the NPK ratio of these pellets?

The NPK ratio is 1.7:0.5:5.3, indicating nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content.

How much liquid feed can I make from a 750g bag?

A 750g bag can be diluted to make approximately 100 litres of liquid feed.

How much liquid feed can I make from a 1.5kg bag?

A 1.5kg bag can be diluted to make approximately 200 litres of liquid feed.

Is it safe to use around edible plants?

Yes, as it is a natural product, it is safe to use around edible plants. Follow application guidelines to ensure optimal results.

Can I mix this with other fertilizers?

It can be used alongside other organic fertilizers. If using synthetic fertilizers, it's best to observe plant response and avoid over-fertilization.

Troubleshooting

Liquid feed appears cloudy or has sediment.

This is normal for organic feeds. Stir thoroughly before application. Ensure all pellets have fully dissolved; if not, steep for longer.

Plants show no sign of improved growth.

Ensure the pellets are being applied correctly (either scattered or as a properly diluted liquid feed). Check for other limiting factors such as sunlight, water, or pest infestation. Soil pH may also affect nutrient uptake.

Pellets are slow to break down when scattered.

This is expected as they provide a slow-release of nutrients. If faster action is desired, use the liquid feed method. Ensure adequate moisture in the soil to aid decomposition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and Application:

  1. As a Soil Enricher: Scatter the pellets directly onto the soil surface around the base of plants. Aim for approximately 50-100g per square meter, depending on soil fertility and plant requirements. Lightly fork into the topsoil or let rain gradually wash the nutrients in.
  2. As a Liquid Feed: Dissolve pellets in water. Use a dilution rate of 50g (for 750g pack) or 100g (for 1.5kg pack) per 5 litres of water. Stir well and allow to steep for 12-24 hours before use. Apply the liquid feed to the base of plants, avoiding direct contact with foliage.

Compatibility:

  • These comfrey pellets are compatible with most soil types and can be used alongside other organic fertilizers. They are safe to use in vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, flower beds, and around ornamental shrubs.
  • Their natural composition makes them suitable for use in organic gardening practices.

Care and Storage:

  • Store the pellets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their efficacy.
  • Keep the packaging sealed when not in use.
  • Ensure the product is stored out of reach of children and pets.
