I ordered 10 comfrey roots from you a couple of months ago, I received 13 and they all are doing well. They will be transplanted all along my chicken/rabbit run to feed the protein producers. This year I hung all my spent pea plants, corn stalks, etc to dry for winter "hay," the rabbits love it.

I can't leave a review on Spotify, but you have my 5 stars. If I could leave a review, it'd be something along the lines of, "If you want to learn how to pick up chicks, never pay to feed them, and train them to put in work and make your money, the Permaculture PIMPcast will show you the way!"

Rabbits FARKING LOVE Comfrey. Acquire you a dozen or so roots, in a year you can turn that into 100 ... and then its as close to infinite as you want. Our Rabbits get 1/4th of their feed calories from Comfrey. Free meat protein FTW!!!

@loue6563 Жыл бұрын

I wanted to add that it’s best to keep any plant you are drying out of sun light. As you have with it being in a covered porch. The sun is great for living plants but once you are drying them it breaks down all the nutrients you are trying to preserve. Comfrey is also good to use not only in salves but just as a poultice for healing on animals and people. It helps with wounds bruises and even broken bones. Great for so many things.

You shouldn't need to do a thing. I have several comfrey plants that live on the north side of a 6-foot solid fence at 5500 ft in zone 5, so once the ground there freezes it tends to stay frozen solid till April. I don't do anything at all to protect them, but they come back bigger and badder every year. :)

None of my comfrey (true from seed OR cuttings and two year crowns I bought) survived the Kansas summer. Nothing got bigger than a few leaves and never got any bigger. Can I dig them up and save them for next year and try to revive them next spring? or should I leave them in the ground and hope they come back. My nettle is doing great, but the comfrey did not. This is why I left 47 years ago years ago - the horrible summers. But I came back to care for my wonderful dad before he died. But I would like a good comfrey patch here.
