Hey Rrog what are your thoughts on the vitamin c filter?

All the time. Look at the results:

Those dudes MM, CC, and others give some pretty fuckin solid advice. If only the newbs would look there

headtreep your plants look great. Where do you get your nettle and comfrey from.

Mountain rose out of OR.

Good herbs, good people.

If anyone wants some Comfrey root cuttings to grow out, after this summer I'll have plenty to give away. Just ask!

Some of the roots I potted up last fall are growing nicely in an east facing window, and as soon as spring gets going, I'm fixing to make up a proper comfrey bed once and for all! (I've been just letting some grow in the shade next to the compost pile for a year or two)

An old farmer I know told me to chop my roots up pretty good, and bury the chunks where I want them. They should completly fill the bed I give them in a summer or two.

Hey headtreep What is the ratio on the tea I know its in this thread somewhere but am not having any luck with finding it.

Aloe and coconut are basically 15:1 and the others 2 handfuls of each in 4 gal RO and bubble. I don't measure anything just eyeball. I like to make shit simple that's why I went to organics

wow I got lost over there for a minute

It would be really ideal and cheap to grow your own. I plan to soon.

I would have bought them just now but the nettle wouldn't be shipped till April. But it gives me some time to find it locally.

Check ebay they have some organic herbs.

I'm about to place my order right now on Amazon and they've got a good selection as well! Thx HT

How fast do you go thru it? Or better yet, how long does the 1lb bag last you?

Since I make light teas and always I'm switching ingredients, I would say that would last you awhile depending on your garden size.

I'm always mixing ingredients or running straight ewc/compost and RO to help with diversity. I will tell you that almost all my teas have kelp meal as a base.

Natural soil, simple teas, some of your own VermiCompost... No simple and so natural.

Just saw you said a couple handfuls per 4gal. You were talking about the comfrey and nettle leaf right?
