Hi there
I've been reading past entries about how comfrey grows wild and is hard to stop. However, we have about 10 young plants, grown from seed and being hardened off now before we put them in. As we only have 10 now and would like a 4 ft bed of them eventually-how would you advise we plant them; in a row then divide in the autumn or spaced out in the full bed allowing them to spread? and will 10 plants give us enough to use for a feed/mulch later in the season?
Thanks
Wendy

dont think it matters they will grow anyway, 10 plants will be plenty i think as its watered down 10:1

i know you have gone to the trouble of bringing these plants on but they will seed everywhere, i would seriously consider dumping them and buying some bocking 14 root cuttings from the organic gardening catalogue and saving yourself alot of work in future years.
bocking 14 is a sterile version which still produces flowers.
