Lol... That's what I use. Performance is great. I tested range of 150+m but just because there's a big wall in front of the access point and front of wall is a big cluster of trees. Yet, it penetrates them and gets to extra 150m. It'll be reached the documented 300m if I had no obstacle I believe. That's a super long distance.

My only problem with it is that, once power goes off, coming back on, the captive portal somehow stops working and everyone can connect freely. The solution I got was to enter the SSID, remove the captive portal and add it again and it's back to normal. They need to fix that.

Superb!

If you are searching: "Where Can I Buy Comfrey Seeds In Ghana?"
We have got you covered.

We've got some limited quantity of comfrey seeds.

You may reach out for some.

For those who are just getting your seeds, I will advise you wait for instructions before planting.
When we first tried starting comfrey seeds, due to the fact that it is a 'foreign' seed, we struggled.
We lost seeds in the process!

I would want you to leverage on our mistakes so your seeds germinate, blossom and flourish.

Blessings!

POULTRY MANURE – The Old Favorite

Pros:
Very high in nitrogen
Fast vegetative growth
Easy to get in Nigeria

Cons:
Can burn crops if not well composted
Strong smell
Can carry pathogens and weed seeds
Overuse can harden soil over time

Best used after proper composting, not fresh.

---

COMFREY – The Silent Worker

Pros:
Rich in potassium, calcium, and trace minerals
Improves soil structure
No burning of crops
Can be harvested repeatedly from one plant
Excellent for flowering and fruiting crops

Cons:
Slower effect than poultry manure
Not common yet in Nigeria
Needs time to establish

---

So Which One Is Better?

Truth is: they are not enemies.

Poultry manure = strong starter (nitrogen boost)
Comfrey = long-term soil health and fruiting support

Smart farmers combine both:
Use composted poultry manure early, then feed crops with comfrey mulch or liquid later.

---

Conclusion

If you want quick green growth, poultry manure wins.
If you want healthy soil and better yield long-term, comfrey shines.

Chemical fertilizer is the real enemy here

Let the farmers talk 👇

Comfrey is one of the most powerful plants you can grow in an organic garden, yet many Nigerian farmers don’t know how to use it properly.

I’ll explain simple, practical ways you can use comfrey to boost yield naturally—without chemicals.

🌿 What Makes Comfrey Special?

Comfrey is called a dynamic accumulator.
Its deep roots pull nutrients from deep soil layers that normal crops can’t reach.

It is especially rich in:

Potassium (K) – for flowering & fruiting

Nitrogen (N) – for leaf growth

Calcium & Magnesium – for strong plants

That’s why it’s often called “organic fertilizer plant.”

1️⃣ Comfrey as Green Mulch (Easiest Method)

How to use:

Cut fresh comfrey leaves

Spread them around crops like:

Ugu

Tomatoes

Pepper

Okra

Cucumbers

Cover lightly with soil or straw

Benefits:

Slowly releases nutrients

Retains soil moisture

Suppresses weeds

Improves soil life

👉 This method alone can noticeably improve yield.

2️⃣ Comfrey Liquid Fertilizer (Comfrey Tea)

How to prepare:

Fill a bucket with fresh comfrey leaves

Add water to cover leaves

Cover loosely and allow to ferment for 7–14 days

Dilute before use (1 part tea : 10 parts water)

⚠️ Smells bad but works very well.

How to apply:

Water the soil around plants

Or spray on soil (not strong on leaves)

Best for:

Fruiting vegetables

Weak or stressed plants

3️⃣ Comfrey as Compost Accelerator

Add chopped comfrey leaves into your compost pile.

Why it works:

High nitrogen speeds up decomposition

Balances dry materials like:

Rice husk

Sawdust

Dry leaves

This helps compost mature faster.

4️⃣ Comfrey for Heavy Feeders

Use comfrey regularly for crops that demand nutrients:

Ugu

Banana

Maize

Pumpkin

Tomatoes

Many organic farmers rely on comfrey instead of NPK.

5️⃣ How Often Can You Harvest Comfrey?

Every 4–6 weeks

Cut leaves, not the crown

One plant can feed many beds

Comfrey regrows very fast.

⚠️ Important Notes

Do not use comfrey directly as animal feed (except dried in controlled amounts)

Best use is soil feeding, not human consumption

Russian comfrey (Bocking 14) is ideal if available

✅ Conclusion

If you’re serious about organic farming, comfrey is:

Cheap

Renewable

Extremely effective

One comfrey plant can replace many bags of chemical fertilizer over time.

Thank you 👍
Comfrey is a game changer for
Organic farmers.

We need 100% pure, cold pressed moringa oil. Kindly reach out in case you have. Thank you.

There are plants you grow.
And there are plants that serve you.

Comfrey is one of those rare servants.

While many farmers are chasing expensive fertilizers, imported foliar feeds, and chemical boosters, comfrey quietly does what money struggles to do — naturally.

Comfrey is not loud.
It is not hyped.
But it is deeply powerful.

🌱 A miner of the soil
Comfrey sends its roots far deeper than most crops — pulling up potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and trace minerals that other plants can’t reach. What comes out of the soil through its roots goes straight into its leaves.

Cut the leaves.
Return them to the soil.
And you have free fertility.

🌿 A living fertilizer factory

Comfrey leaves contain very high potassium — perfect for:

fruiting crops
flowering vegetables
bananas, tomatoes, pepper, cucumbers

One plant can be cut 3–5 times a year.
No buying. No importing. No scarcity.

Soak the leaves in water and you get comfrey tea — a powerful organic liquid fertilizer farmers in Europe pay for, but we can grow freely here.

🐄 Feed for livestock
Goats love it.
Rabbits thrive on it.
Poultry benefit from it (when mixed properly).

High protein. High minerals.
Yet many farms feed only grass and struggle.

🌍 Soil healer
Comfrey:
Improves soil structure
Encourages microbial life
Reduces erosion
Works beautifully in permaculture systems

Plant it once, and it works for you for decades.

💰 Why is it not popular?
Because:

It doesn’t come in a bag
It doesn’t make companies rich
It grows quietly without advertising

But wise farmers don’t follow noise.
They follow results.

📌 A question for Nairaland farmers
Why are we importing fertilizers our soil can produce naturally?
Why are we ignoring plants that regenerate instead of exhaust?

Comfrey may not trend.
But it transforms farms.

If you know, you know.
If you don’t — now you do.

Let’s talk:

Who here has planted comfrey? We have!
Where in Nigeria have you seen it thrive? It is thriving here in Bwari, Abuja
Would you adopt it if planting materials were available? That's for you to answer

The future of farming is not louder chemicals —
it is quieter wisdom. 🌱

Where can you buy comfrey seedlings in Nigeria?
We have few comfrey seedlings available. First come, first served.

...and to think that real rich men don't form beats my imagination!

franudi:
Americans know Nigeria more than Nigerians.

America will know- GEJ

They probably forgot the recent killings in Benue State where VDM went to expose everything

Today, let’s look at how to grow and use comfrey effectively on your farm or garden.

1. Planting and Growth
Comfrey grows best in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. You can start from cuttings, roots, or seeds. Once established, it grows fast and keeps producing for years — with minimal care! It’s almost indestructible once rooted.

2. Organic Fertilizer Powerhouse
Cut the leaves every 5–6 weeks and use them as green manure. You can:
🌱 Bury them directly in the soil to feed crops
🌱 Make comfrey tea — a powerful liquid fertilizer
🌱 Add to compost piles to speed up decomposition

3. Animal Feed Supplement
Comfrey leaves are rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins. In moderation, they’re great supplements for goats, rabbits, and chickens.

4. Natural Pest Control
When used as a mulch, comfrey discourages weeds and keeps soil moist, reducing pest pressure naturally.

5. A Pollinator Magnet
Its purple-blue flowers attract bees and beneficial insects, boosting pollination and overall farm biodiversity.

💡Tip: Once comfrey settles, it spreads fast. Plant it where you can easily manage or harvest it regularly.

Comfrey truly lives up to its name — *the farmer’s friend and soil healer.*
If you’re passionate about sustainable farming, you should have this plant somewhere on your land.

Stay tuned!

In the last post, I shared how I started my comfrey journey and why it’s called “Green Gold.”
Today, let’s talk about how to actually use it to boost your crops, improve your soil, and save money on fertilizer — all organically!

Comfrey is not just a plant you admire; it’s a worker on your farm! Here are 5 smart ways to put it to use:

🌱 1. As a Green Manure

Cut mature comfrey leaves and bury them in your beds or around fruit trees.
They decompose quickly, releasing a balanced dose of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — the same nutrients commercial fertilizers boast of.

🧃 2. As Liquid Fertilizer (“Comfrey Tea”)

This is every organic farmer’s secret weapon!

Fill a bucket halfway with chopped comfrey leaves.

Add water, cover lightly, and leave it to ferment for 2–3 weeks.

Strain and dilute the dark liquid (1 part tea to 10 parts water).
Use it to feed vegetables, flowers, or even your nursery plants — you’ll see the results fast!

🍂 3. As Mulch

Lay fresh or dried comfrey leaves around crops or trees.
It suppresses weeds, conserves moisture, and releases nutrients as it breaks down.

🐓 4. As Animal Feed Supplement

Comfrey is high in protein, calcium, and vitamins — a perfect natural supplement for chickens, goats, rabbits, and pigs.
They love it! Just don’t overfeed raw leaves daily; use it moderately as part of a balanced diet.

🌼 5. As Compost Activator

If your compost decomposes slowly, add a few handfuls of comfrey leaves.
It speeds up microbial activity and enriches your compost pile.

💡 Pro Tip:
Plant comfrey along farm borders, near compost pits, or under fruit trees. It controls erosion and improves nearby soil over time.

Comfrey is indeed one of the best plants every organic farmer should grow.
In the next post, I’ll show you how to multiply comfrey fast and build your own comfrey bed even if you have limited space.

Stay tuned!

If you’ve read about how comfrey can boost your chickens’ health and egg production, you’re probably wondering —
👉 “How do I grow this amazing plant myself?”

Good news: Comfrey is one of the easiest crops you’ll ever plant. Yes, I have proven it!

Once established, it grows back after every harvest and keeps producing for 10 years or more!

Here’s how to get started:

🌱 1. Get comfrey Root Cuttings or Seedlings or seeds

Comfrey rarely grows well from seed.

In my previous experiments, I lost quite some seeds. So beware!

The best way is to plant root cuttings or splits from an existing comfrey plant.
Each root cutting can multiply quickly and spread within months.

The next best way to plant is to get established seedlings and transplant.

🪴 2. Choose a Moist, Sunny Spot or anywhere you have space.

Comfrey loves well-drained, fertile soil but can survive even in poor soil.
It grows fastest in areas that get good sunlight and occasional watering.

🌾 3. Planting/Transplanting

Dig a small hole about 2–3 inches deep.

Place your root cutting or seedling inside, root down, and cover lightly with soil.

Space plants about 2–3 feet apart — they grow big!

💧 4. Water Regularly (At the Start)

Keep the soil moist during the first few weeks so the plant can establish strong roots.
After that, comfrey can survive long dry periods — it’s very hardy.

✂️ 5. Harvesting

Start harvesting after 2–3 months when the leaves are large and healthy.
Cut the leaves close to the base — they’ll regrow fast.
You can feed them fresh to your chickens or dry them to mix into feed later.

🐔 6. Multiply & Share

Each mature comfrey plant can give you dozens of root cuttings for replanting or selling.
That means once you start, you’ll never need to buy again.

💡 Bonus Tip:
Mix comfrey leaves with other greens like waterleaf, amaranth, or moringa to create a balanced natural feed that boosts poultry growth and egg quality.

If you keep chickens — especially free-range or local breeds — then you’re sitting on a goldmine if you have comfrey on your farm.

This fast-growing leafy plant is not just another weed; it’s a superfeed that can transform the health and productivity of your birds.

Here’s why farmers who’ve tried it are never going back 👇

🌱 1. Nature’s Multivitamin for Chickens

Comfrey is loaded with protein, calcium, potassium, and trace minerals that your birds need for strong bones, healthy feathers, and steady egg production.
Think of it as natural feed plus vitamins — all in one leaf!

💪 2. Boosts Immunity and Digestion

Feeding comfrey regularly helps improve digestion and strengthens the immune system.
Farmers notice cleaner droppings, faster growth, and fewer sick birds — naturally.

🪶 3. Enhances Feather Growth & Egg Quality

Because of its rich nutrient profile, comfrey-fed chickens grow shiny, healthy feathers.
Layers produce eggs with thicker shells and brighter yolks — the kind customers love to see.

🧫 4. Works as a Gentle Natural Dewormer

Comfrey contains natural compounds that help reduce internal parasites, cutting down worm loads without the use of synthetic drugs.

🌾 5. Easy to Grow & Harvest

Plant comfrey once and it keeps coming back!
It grows fast, even in poor soil, and chickens love to forage on it. You can also cut the leaves, dry them, and mix with feed for extra nutrients.

✅ In Summary:
Comfrey is like a free health insurance plan for your poultry.
It cuts feed costs, improves egg quality, boosts immunity, and keeps birds happy and active.

So if you’re raising chickens — start growing comfrey today. Your flock (and your pocket) will thank you! 🐓💚

You and this comfrey. Are you selling it? If YES, where is your location?

Yes, we have the seedlings. We are in Abuja. See my contact below.

If you’ve been farming for years and haven’t heard of Common Comfrey (Symphytum officinale), you’re about to discover one of the best-kept secrets in regenerative agriculture.

Most people know comfrey as a “herbal medicine plant” — good for bones, wounds, and skin.
But very few know that this same plant can quietly boost yields, cut fertilizer bills, enrich soil, and feed animals — all at once.

Let’s break it down.

🌱 1️⃣ Nature’s Fertilizer Factory

Comfrey is called a dynamic accumulator.
Its deep taproot (up to 10 feet!) mines nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron from deep in the soil — nutrients that shallow-rooted crops can’t reach.

When you cut its leaves and use them as mulch or compost, those nutrients are released back to the topsoil where other crops can use them.
💡 Result: Richer soil, faster crop growth, and stronger yields — without spending on chemical fertilizer.

Farmers call it “green gold” for a reason.

💧 2️⃣ Liquid Gold Fertilizer (Comfrey Tea)

If you soak fresh comfrey leaves in water for 2–3 weeks, you get a dark, nutrient-dense liquid fertilizer that rivals any NPK fertilizer in potassium content — perfect for tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, maize, cassava, and even tree crops.

Just dilute 1 liter of comfrey tea in 10 liters of water and spray or water your plants.
You’ll be amazed at how lush and vibrant your crops become.

🐔 3️⃣ Animal Feed Supplement

Comfrey contains about 20–25 % protein, plus calcium and trace minerals.
That makes it a fantastic feed supplement for poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and fish.

Farmers who mix dried comfrey powder or fresh leaves into feed report:

Better egg yolk color and shell strength,

Faster animal growth,

Reduced feed cost (since comfrey grows back quickly).

In Kenya and Uganda, many smallholder farmers are already using comfrey for poultry feed — and Nigeria is next!

🌾 4️⃣ Living Compost & Soil Builder

Comfrey leaves break down extremely fast — even faster than banana leaves or moringa.
Use it in compost heaps to kick-start decomposition and balance your nitrogen levels naturally.
It’s also a great green manure — just plant it along field edges and cut it regularly to mulch your crops.

🌼 5️⃣ Attracts Pollinators & Improves Farm Ecosystem

Comfrey flowers are magnets for bees and other pollinators.
That means healthier fruiting, better yields, and a more balanced farm environment.
If you’re into organic or permaculture farming, comfrey is one of those must-have plants.

♻️ 6️⃣ One-Time Plant, Lifetime Benefit

Once established, comfrey keeps coming back year after year.
It’s drought-resistant, pest-resistant, and almost impossible to kill once rooted.
You only plant it once — then harvest leaves every 4–6 weeks for decades.

That’s passive productivity on your farm.

🚀 Why Nigerian Farmers Shouldn’t Ignore Comfrey

With fertilizer prices skyrocketing and feed costs eating up profits, comfrey offers a local, organic, and sustainable alternative that works.
Whether you’re a backyard gardener, poultry farmer, or large-scale crop grower, this plant can save you money, improve your soil, and boost your yield.

🪴 How to Get Started

You can grow comfrey from seeds, root cuttings or seedlings.

Plant it on moist, well-drained soil, spacing about 1–2 feet apart.

Once it takes root, keep harvesting the leaves and watch it regrow like magic.

Avoid planting it directly in your main beds; instead, plant on edges, compost areas, or near water sources for easy access.

💬 Final Thought

Comfrey might not make social media headlines, but among wise farmers, it’s quietly transforming soil health, reducing feed bills, and multiplying profits.

It’s the kind of “farm secret” that can turn an average farmer into a master of sustainability.

Hello fellow farmers,

I came across a plant some months ago that totally changed how I see organic farming — Comfrey.
Many people haven’t heard of it yet, but it’s quietly becoming one of the most valuable plants for those practicing natural and sustainable agriculture.

Here’s what I’ve discovered about it so far 👇

✅ Soil booster: Comfrey grows deep roots that mine nutrients from the subsoil. Its leaves make excellent organic compost or liquid fertilizer that rivals chemical ones.

✅ Livestock feed: Goats, rabbits, poultry, and cows all love it. It’s rich in protein and minerals that support growth and milk production.

✅ Fast regrowth: You can cut it multiple times a year, and it keeps bouncing back stronger.

I’ve been propagating some healthy comfrey seedlings for farmers who want to start their own small patch — whether for composting, animal feed, or experimentation.

If you’re curious and would like to see how it can transform your organic system, feel free to reach out or drop a comment.
Let’s spread sustainable farming together 🌱


PS: You may Google common comfrey to learn more.

Comfrey “tea” is one of the most effective organic fertilizers you can make.
Here’s how:
1️⃣ Cut fresh comfrey leaves.
2️⃣ Chop them up and place in a bucket.
3️⃣ Add water (1 part leaves to 4 parts water). Put a heavy object on the leaves to keep them inside the water.
4️⃣ Cover and leave for 2–4 weeks to ferment.
5️⃣ Strain out the liquid — that’s your comfrey tea!

To use: dilute 1 cup of comfrey tea in 5 liters of water and apply to your vegetables or crops weekly.
It boosts leaf growth, fruiting, and root development faster than most organic blends.
⚠️ It smells strong — but your plants will thank you! 🌱
