Comfrey Fertilizer: The Secret to Lush, Healthy Plants

For a very quick and not so offensive fertilizer, you can make up small batches of fresh comfrey fertilizer in your kitchen. Pick four or five fresh comfrey leaves and place them in a blender. Fill the blender jar with water hot enough to wilt the leaves. Thoroughly blend the mixture and let cool.

Comfrey is a perennial plant that can be used as a natural fertilizer for many plants:

Comfrey leaves
Can be used as a mulch, powder, or steeped in water to make a liquid fertilizer:
Mulch: Spread cut leaves on the soil around plants.
Powder: Use comfrey leaves as a powder.
Liquid fertilizer: Steep chopped comfrey leaves in water for 4–12 weeks to create a dark, smelly liquid. You can dilute the liquid with water and apply it to plant roots.

Comfrey tea
Steep comfrey leaves in water for 8–12 weeks to make a thick, brown-black tea.

Compost
Add comfrey leaves to your compost to increase the nutrient content and speed up the composting process.

Comfrey is a good source of nutrients because it has a deep taproot and large root system that can reach nutrients in the subsoil. It's high in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other trace elements. Comfrey's high carbon to nitrogen ratio means it doesn't deplete nitrogen from the soil as it decomposes. 

Comfrey liquid manure works well for heavy growers like tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, pumpkins, potatoes, peppers, celery, fruit plants and zucchinis. It can also be used for berry bushes, lovage, fruit trees, roses, and sunflowers

Gucchi: Foraging for world’s most expensive mushroom in Kashmir

Gucchi mushroom Kashmir

Like carpets that Kashmir weaves but ill-affords for itself, the valley produces more than 625 tons of costly morels that sell at a cost higher than silver in the global market.

Come spring and hundreds of people living in the Kashmir foothills will leave for, what they say, the Gucchi hunt. Usually arduous journeys, it is expertise and fate that helps collectors to locate the morels in the coniferous forests, the most expensive mushrooms that cannot be cultivated commercially.

A major Kashmir export, these mushrooms are a treasure for collectors and a taste for consumers. Collectors take months in harvesting these mushrooms and many weeks to sun-drying them before selling them.
