I have some comfrey/nettle tea left which I made in May. I'm wondering if it's okay to still feed some of my tired looking shrubs with it at this time of year, and if it is possibly too old after 5 months brewing?

Hi Gerry, A friend of mine gave me some of her left-over propagating successes but we can't identify this one. It has small thorns or spikes and grew quite rapidly over the summer.

I made some compost tea in May (using nettles and comfrey) and gave everything a good feed with it. Now there is still plenty left but I'm wondering is it a) too old and b) too late to feed plants this time of year?

I've been recommended this site by a friend and so wanted to ask your help in identifying this shrub; it's beginning to look a bit straggly since I took this photo so I'd like to be able to help it along.
