COMFREY
year after year. The main value of comfrey as a fertiliser is that the leaves are high in nitrogen. You can dig the plant directly into the soil if you want to. Or you could keep some a a living plant, to allow you to harvest the leaves. These can by Madeleine51

chicken pelleted manure
? It is a cheap fertilizer- quite high in nitrogen so might not be ideal for all plants-especially flowering ones when something more balanced is required- but fine for veg when leafy growth is wanted Just depends on what you use it for or what you grow by peter privett

round the problem of birds pulling them out of the ground. Welsh onion. I grow fairly,good onions. Used to give high nitrogen feed up to mid summer then potash etc after that. Is this how you grow them for size and taste? I would like to grow bigger by David White

dog burns
the dog has been immediately that dilutes it and stops the dog going in the same spot as well-similarly it is not so noticeable in wet conditions The brown patches are caused by the reaction between the high nitrogen content and the grass-in the same way by ruff patches

Yellowing leaves
!!!! Am I right in thinking yellow leaves can sometimes be a lack of Nitrogen in the soil? They just need moving on into larger pots, as Mattbeer87 says it's a lack on nutrients in the compost and potting on is the answer, they'll soon green up again. Yep by CLER

6x or growmore
pellets and 6x are similar ....they are for mulching, enriching the soil, mixing with the soil for planting and give some feeding.  Essentially they "feed" the soil. These are organic Gromore Is a straight fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorous by NANNYANN

Composting
chemicals have been used as preservatives but I'd expect it would still be OK. Fresh wood chips absorb nutrients (mainly nitrogen, I think) from the soil as they rot down. I'd suggest  finding  a corner of the garden somewhere out of sight and stack it there by johnmartinlaw
