It will work well like compost activator, functioning as padding or developing concentrates or slurry. This way if we mix the content of the packet with the substrate this will be charged of NPK nutrients, in addition to provide trace elements like iron, manganese, zinc and boron.
It also will stimulate the roots working at par as an natural insecticide. It also stimulates the vegetative growth and the germination of seeds and the rooting of cuttings by containing high levels of vitamin B12.

It also provides alkaloids of allantoin, which makes a function as cellular biostimulant, up to a 34.6% of proteins and other substances which promotes the biological processes of plants.
In terms of trace elements, it provides boron (B), calcium (Ca), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr) iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), sodium (Na), sulfur (S), and Zinc (ZN). It also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 (only vegetable source that contains it), C, E and phytohormones.
It is recommended to apply it in the form of manure, decoction or infusion, getting so a liquid fertiliser that keeps all its properties, using 100g of dry product per 10L of water (a bag of 25gr to 2.5L of water).
It can also be applied covering the surface of the soil or the plant pot with about 5cm of comfrey leaves, which in addition to controlling the evaporation and the wear of the substrate provides the required amount of fertilisers in every moment, depending on environmental conditions and humidity it receives.
