    Prompted by Zigs talking about caramelising onions in the Onion competition thread, I wonder what folk think is the worst kind of smell in the garden?

    For me it's Comfrey Tea, I try to hold my breath for as long as it takes to put a cupful of the awful rotting stenchy gloop in a watering can and then pouring it onto the plants. If a little gets onto my hands it won't come off with scrubbing, it pongs for hours later.

    :eeew:

    Comfrey tea. Never made any myself, but a friend who has a plot has made some, and I took a whiff. I can't think of anything worse:runforhills:

      I must admit at the beginning of the growing season the first few measures of comfrey tea make me feel really poorly...like John says ..i too hold my breath until i nearly pass out:heehee: but as time wears on i must just get the knack of keeping up wind of it so it's not quite as bad...still have a performance though:rolleyespink:.....

      Nowhere near as bad is the smell of Angelica stems if you snap them....i think it smells 'orrible:rolleyespink:

        Don't mind the smell of Comfrey tea at all.

        Bit perplexed about the smell of Herb Robert though.

        Probably a bit jaded, as I used to go bottle digging next to the sewage works, that wasn't the worst smell there though.
