vintage comfrey tea.

in a rarely visited spot behind my garage I have found about 30 litres of home made fertiliser. about half comfrey and half nettle. It was made last year or maybe the year before and has been open to the elements, ie. no lid. Is it good stuff or poison?
Cheers,
Pontersman.

I don’t know the definitive answer but I think I’d be tempted to use it and see! I hate seeing stuff going to waste especially something as potentially useful as nettle or comfrey tea.

Can't see there can be anything wrong with it. Dilute some and water a patch of grass somewhere and see what happens.
