I've had a thought - about an easier way to make smell-less comfrey feed on a smaller scale than using a water butt, without drilling holes - in fact, using things I have - and you probably do too.
I'm going to use 30 litre plant pots - https://www.oaklandgardens.co.uk/heavy-d...5881-p.asp but any big pots of the same size and design would do. They just need to fit inside the other one.
This is the plan :-
Find a tray or container that the pot can stand in.
Put some sticks/stones in the tray to act as pot feet.
Sit one pot on the "feet" so that the liquid can drain out of the pot and into the tray.
Fill pot with comfrey/nettle/ whatever.
Sprinkle with water.
Put second pot on top of weeds and weight it down with a container of water or bag of compost.
Sit back and see what happens.
If it works, I may set up a few of these around the garden near a source of weeds so that I can chuck them straight into the bottom bucket.
