    My understanding is that nettle feed is for leafy growth and comfrey is fed when plants are in flower or fruiting. I only use comfrey feed and my first batch of the year should be ready in the next week or 2.

    I agree with rusty, I remember my grandmother's neighbour using comfrey on her chrysanthemums and on veg when fruiting too. Seemed to make an incredible difference.
