Mystery plant in new allotment
« on: September 22, 2008, 19:16 »
We've just started digging our first allotment and while most of it is obviously weeds, I wasn't sure about this one:


I've seen it in a couple of other plots but I'm not sure if it was an intentional one or not. :lol:

So shall I dig it up, or harvest it (and how / when?)

Thanks

Looks a lot like comfrey which is great for composting and making liquid feed for plants, so I hear. Was growing some but my ducks ate it!

Guess it's still fertilizing the ground, just took a different route :roll:
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
