Back in 1978 we were living on a mountain six miles from the nearest school bus stop, so were home teaching our kids except for twice a week when we took them down because we felt it was important that they get some ‘socialization.’ Picked them up one Thursday and the six year old had a scrape on her wrist, didn’t think anything of it (this was before we knew that schools didn’t do anything with cuts or scrapes). Touched her on Sunday and she screamed, looked at her wrist and she had a red line going from the scrape to a sack under her arm. Didn’t have a phone so went down the hill to a neighbor who had one, called the local ‘hippy doctor’ (only one in the area). He said to put comfrey on it and bring her in in the morning. I had no idea what comfrey was, but the neighbor grew it for hid rabbits and gave me several leaves. Not knowing what else to do with it I put a leaf over the scrape and wrapped gauze around it. Checked it an hour later and the leaf was black and wilted. Put on another one. When I put her to bed I put the rest on. Checked in the morning, the red line and sack under her arm was completely gone. The comfrey had drawn out all of the poison. Have grown comfrey ever since, won’t be without it.

Hi, I noticed you grow sage. If you haven't already tried it, I would like to recommend pineapple sage. I live in Colorado and this plant did very well. I did have some trouble with slugs eating the roots, but the bed where I grew it was full of them before I even planted anything. I know you don't do a lot of sweet things so I think this would be a good spice to try. It is not sweet like fresh pineapple but it does taste and smell like pineapple. I made baked and fried chicken breast dishes with it and it tasted amazing! The bush grows fast and big so if you have an out of the way place to grow it by itself, that's what I would recommend.

Hi there, Comfrey acquired me, I didn’t grow it. It may have been deposited by friendly pollinators some while ago. The flower is purple and a kind lady gave a cutting which now bears white flowers. So I have both. I keep them quite tame so that they don’t become rampant. I use them mainly as an accelerator for my compost and as mulch for my plants. Lately I have found about how to use them as a balm. This is something I’m working on in the near future. Thank you for your video, very informative. Yacoob from UK.

Will it work with strengthening teeth. Like a Toothpaste or placed between your teeth and cheek.

Can this grow up in cold country? I’m about 100 miles from Canada in Idaho.

Yes. In warm seasons it likes shade.

Why plant comfrey when they grow prolific along the walk trails and pathways?

@BushImports 5 жыл бұрын

Which of the comfrey varieties did you guys grow, the Russian bocking 14 or bocking 10 or did you grow regular comfrey from seed? I got the Russian bocking 14 root and crown cuttings and I thought it wanted full sun but it wilted even in the low 80's and there is some damage to part of the leaves I assume from the sun and heat until it got established good. Thanks Sarah

Where do you buy it from??

Central Texas here. My Russian comfrey likes afternoon shade. Grows crazy happy if I water every morning. I start new ones with just a piece of root. Have about 40 plants from the original plant.

@@SimpsonAcres Central Texas here my local nursery had it one year. I'm trading starts (from pieces of roots) for plants I want. If you see it in a yard, ask the owner for a piece of root. I slice mine with a narrow shovel. Easy. I transplant the part I cut (cut the leaves off and plant it) and leave the original to keep growing.
