It supplies potassium, nitrogen and other nutrients that help plants form strong leaves, healthy flowers and firm fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comfrey is one of the most popular plants for homemade liquid fertilizers. Its leaves contain a high amount of nutrients that are released into the infusion during fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cucumbers like potassium-rich nutrition especially during flowering and fruit formation. Comfrey infusion is an excellent source of this element and at the same time supports overall vitality of the plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-34.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-34.png 800w, https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-34-242x300.png 242w, https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-34-768x953.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare comfrey infusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fill a bucket or barrel with fresh comfrey leaves (you can also use dried ones).
