 Three Simple Steps = DSD 

  • (D) =  DECOMPOSE: This step brakes down the plant matter and releases the chemical properties within the plant structure into a base liquid, also called a solvent or a menstruum.
  • (S) =  STRAIN: This step separates the infused base liquid from the broken down plant matter creating a "Pure Uncut" liquid.
  • (D) =  DILUTE: This step adds water to the infused liquid and weakens the strength of the Pure Uncut fertilizer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Easy to remember as - DSD These three simple steps are the same whether you are using Dried Comfrey or Fresh Comfrey!

STEP 1:  DECOMPOSE:

  1. Choose a Container with lid. A jar with a screw on lid is best. 
  2. Fill with Mountain Fables Dried Comfrey. Place the Dried Comfrey into the container about (3/4) full.
  3. Add Water. Pour the water over the leaves until they are fully submerged.
  4. Place the top securely on the jar or bucket so that insects and parasites cannot get in.
  5. Apply the identification labels. (One status and one white) 
  6. Let the mixture infuse for 2–6 weeks.
  7. For immediate use of a small amount steep for (30) minutes to overnight. 
  8. The tea will darken and develop the smell of decomposing matter as it brakes down. (Smell and color differ per batch.)
  9. Proceed to STEP 2: Strain

STEP 2:  STRAIN

  1. After infusing, separate the plant matter from its liquid by straining the liquid off into another container. Reuse the decomposed mater for another batch until water is clear.
  2. Use spent matter as compost in your garden.
  3. Apply the identification labels. (One status and one white) 
  4. Proceed to STEP 3: Dilute

STEP 3:  DILUTE:

  1. Dilute the comfrey tea at a ratio of about 1:10 (one part tea to ten parts water). Always dilute.
  2. You may dilute all at once or as needed.
  3. Apply the identification labels. (One status and one white).  
  4. It is now ready to apply to your plants.
  5. Do not put Pure-Uncut Infusion on plants or on your body.
  6. Do not pour directly on plant roots. It may be used as a mist on leaves (Mist should contain a high ratio of water.)
  7. Store in a cool or room temperature are.
  8. Patch test before use. See health details in Introduction

All Done!
