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!

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.

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.
