comfrey questions

Hi There,

There`s a good guide to comfrey on the site. Take a look at this.

I got mine off ebay from a seller called "allmypurplethings", local to me in the north east but they should travel well as they come as root cuttings. just pot them up as usuall and you should have no problems.

It can spread but there is a type called bocking 14 that is self sterile so does not spread seed everywhere. You let it grow then take root cuttings to propagate.

I planted some from a cutting in October last year and cropped the leaves last week to make comfrey tea.

You do not need a lot of space to get a useful amount as it grows even in shade so plant it in bits you are not using. I have a few plants running alongside my hedge in an area I would not use for growing. I need to double this by splitting the roots at the end of the season, but it would all fit into an area of about 2 foot by 12 foot.

Hi needssomehelp,

How much did you pay for your cuttings and which seller did you get them from?

1. All of them
2. Yes, I think so, as long as it's weak enough
