A glut of comfrey

My comfrey plants grow so fast. I've already got about 6 litres of the liquid fertiliser and am wondering what else I can use it for. At the moment I'm cutting all the leaves up small and adding it to the compost heap
I have tried it as a poultice.

Here in Germany comfrey isn´t hardly known....non of my gardening friends had heard of it....neither did the local plant nurserys know where I could get it from. I wanted some plants to make liquid fertilizer with. We have a local website here...a sort of exchange and mart type of thing. I kept putting adverts in for comfrey plants for about 2 years and almost gave up until somebody saw my advert and gave me 3 healthy plants for free.....btw they wern´t local. They just came across the website by chance.Next year I´m hoping to harvest the leaves and make some lovely comfrey tea for the plants.

Comfrey fertiliser is really easy to make but it smells worse than you would believe possible!
