Hi all,

I'm curious to hear what herbs others have used for feeding thier gardens.
I've found out heaps about Comfrey and it sounds real easy to grow, harvest 
and use.  It also reads as being a very valuable food source for plants, 
especially flowering plants.
I have heard of nettles being used but have not found much with google yet.
I've heard that Yarrow is very helpful too, as an activator and maybe 
feeding too, still to finish that google.
I would especially like to hear from anyone who has heard of Valerian as a 
useful herb in the garden.  I have heard it is a very good companion plant.

So, just wondering what others have experienced or heard.

Cheers and thanks

Peter
