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.
