Just got my comfrey out of the mailbox! I ordered 20 cuttings, they look great and I can't believe it only took 3 days to get here ( NC to IL ). Came with a Thank You card and instructions. Thumbs up to Billy, Michelle and William. Thanks!! Look forward to planting as soon as the weather stops bouncing around.

Years ago my dad tilled under my one comfrey plant and the 100ft2 area around it. I was furious, until next year when I now had a dozen comfrey plants. 🙂

Hey, great video. We got 4 or 5 comfrey plants started last year and wow they are wonderful like you say. They were kind of my babies, and a couple weeks ago I came out to the garden and my wife had moved one of our smaller plants . I thought it would really hurt it if not kill it since it was well into the spring, so after I finished hyperventilating, I got some water on it and it perked right up. After a few days of keeping it moist, we didn’t have to give it another thought. Great plants.

Also, man that grass looks great. My company bought the local company up in Transylvania county and I’ve been up there and worked a few times. About two hours from me.

@@PermaPasturesFarm21 Well all I can say is yall have done an awesome job. I know a lot of people in permaculture don't like grass but to me, it has its place. I love a beautiful lush green grass yard. I leave mine high and cut it on the highest setting on my lawnmower. I have white clover and red clover mixed in with it, among lots of other natives (weeds as some call them) plants. Eventually, after cutting over and over I am hoping it will build up the soil and turn to more native grasses and less of the undesirable plants. Is this from running the animals over it? What exactly did you do?

I have both types of comfrey. It wasn’t doing well because I foolishly planted it around the base of a power pole. (I know, I know, creosote) So after moving it, the leaves shriveled and I’ll have to wait for it to re-emerge. Now it has clean, fresh soil with black dirt. (And compost once my compost finishes, maybe in another week or two)

We got our comfrey in and planted, but I guess I screwed up with half of it. I planted it in two locations. One location has a lot of shade and the other doesn't. The comfrey in the shade seems to be growing fine but the comfrey in the sun ain't growing at all. I guess it can't handle this hot central Texas sun. I'm finding that most of the seeds and plants that say full sun, ain't talking about Texas sun.

I just got about a dozen bocking 14 comfrey plants started in my garden and they are taking off! If you cut them down to propogate by root, as you did in the video, would the long taproot grow back if you hadn't put the crown back in the ground? If so, you'd have two plants in one spot, one from the broken taproot and one from the split crown.

I am using bag soil while I build up my soil. Will this be ok?

WARNING Freudian slip comment incoming. You may experience sarcasm and humor. “You my friend are psychotic no I mean psychic.” Hopefully you get the joke, but brother we have been on the same wave length for some time now and this last video proves it. My only Comfrey planter I had to over winter in the house and it is on it’s last legs, and I was wondering. What should I do and you again put out a video that hits close to home. I really need to make a pilgrimage to the Perma Pasture MECCA. So if I may be so bold, what would it take to get a few roots and or sprigs sent my way. I understand if not but, I if I don’t ask the question will still be lingering. The 18 day compost is doing great, I had to skip a day do to live situations, but things are still cooking like Kerosene. As always keep them coming, God Bless from WYO.

Comfrey is a dynamic accumulator so all of the beneficial minerals that it mines in the earth is deposited into its leaves. It’s not only great animal fodder but great in the garden because it can be used as a fantastic mulch layer, or as a means to shade out unwanted things.
