Dwarf Comfrey

Watched one of the Digging for Victory programmes over the weekend and one of the plot holders said she planted dwarf comfrey under her raspberries and it was excellent at preventing weed growth.  Anyone any experience with this and where i can get it?


Thanks

Comfrey, Dwarf Symphytum ibericum grandflorium
Low growing variety of comfrey with white flowers in spring. It is a good ground cover plant that spreads 3ft (1m). The dwarf comfrey contains very little potassium so is not suitable for liquid manure.HP £1.50[/B]

The plants soon establish themselves and then once they're big enough you can divide them. I plant mine by my compost bins so you can just take the leaves off and add them to the bins.  I have a comfrey pipe too which is like a comfrey distillery and you add water to it to dilute it then feed your plant with it

nah it's a contraption that you stuff comfrey leaves into and press them down and the liquid drips out into a container underneath.  You then dilute it til the colour of weak tea and water your plants with it
