I have heard to not use comfrey on deep wounds due to the rapid
healing of the surface tissue. But it makes a great plaster for
sprains.

Back to the topic---

Both comfrey and nettles make a great 'tea' for watering plants.
Just put the plants into a big barrel and fill with water. Cover
and let steep at least a few weeks. Get a breathing mask, or a
clothes pin for your nose, and open the barrel. You can dip out
liquid as needed and add more water and herbs. Lots of minerals in
this tea.

More garden tea hogwash.

Don't know that comfrey "tea" would have an effect one way or the other and
nettle "tea" would not provide much in the way of minerals since any
minerals of interest in the plant are not water soluble. Nettle does
contain a great
deal of formic acid which is very water soluble and therefore makes a nice
pesticide.
Diluted cow "pee" 10 parts water to 1 part urine makes
a nice nitrate fertilizer. Has a tendency to pollute the water supply
though.
