Yes just fill a bucket with comfrey leaves and fill with water you can chop comfrey up which will speed the process up a little put a lid on as it stinks like the death
With your latest brew you could top dress with the left over leaves also take a look into worms and ewc as they are key to organic growing imo

I am top dressing with compost which contains kitchen fruit and veg waste,grass,leaves,old grow bits,horse manure,nettles, comfrey,spinich leaves and a shit load of worms been building compost for year and a half before using it worms are of abundance in compost and even end up in grow room. Brewing the tea was to give extra boost to microbes in soil as trying to go full on no cost (bar electric). Once I use the tea again in a day or two will top dress with compost and the contents of the tea bag and any brew left will throw on to compost.

Aact is best to boost Biology imo my recipe is 4 cups fresh worm shit out of my worm bin 2 cups of my own compost brew for 17hrs I only add molasses if I wanna keep it active longer
My sst is malted barley and popcorn veg then drop barley in bloom and replace with mung beans
I top dress with worm shit
Also use cover crops to boost nitrogen in veg and first 3wks bloom (stretch)

So instead of having worms work through my compost bin I should set up a worm bin as well am still learning what is aact am new to organics never heard of mung beans hence reason have gone hippie style with spinach and nettles which are a good source for flowering. You say you use cover crops to boost nitrogen am interested in knowing more about this. I have heard you can use baking soda and white vinegar to give them a boost something to do with the chemical reaction when vinegar hits the baking soda but again massive learning curve is organics and am totally enjoying the change.

Aact = Actively Aerated compost tea
Sst = sprouted seed tea
You don’t have to have a worm bin/wormery you can buy both worms and worm shit but think the Quality is nowhere near as good as your own fresh worm shit.
Also with your own Worm bin you Have control over what you feed your worms Hence better castings
Some great organic farmers on here
Also great vids pod casts on YouTube search coots build a soil,kis organics,Chris trump knf ,Joshua steensland be warned when you put your head in the rabbits hole it’s hard to get out I’m completely obsessed with organic and Korean natural farming techniques

Same boat but not into the KNF club yet. I have to go from one to 250 outdoors and try to scale up on virgin soil. KNF seems like it would take a fair amount of time to make the different components needed. Also KNF seems to rely on sugars to produce the amendments. I don't have many local sources of sugars should the supply chain break down or things become too expensive to just buy. Trying to keep things limited to what I can produce to control my costs and dependence on outside suppliers (I can grow popcorn, barley, oats, ect.).
Not sayin anything bad about KNF, it just sounds very involved.

Guys, do we have to make 3+ gallon teas? I've only got 2 plants and don't need big amounts of it. What happens if i brew just a single gallon of aerated tea?

Nothing wrong with that at all. The 27g batches I make for indoors are scaled down from a 300-gallon outdoor recipe.

Hey is it possible that you have that original 300g out door recipe im getting back into the swing of things. Very interested in going full organic if i can on this next outdoor grow. Plus I've missed a few seasons and would like to do something different this time around.
