Thank you for the information on the comfrey plant. I live in Ohio in the United States. A friend of mine who has a nine Acre Farm grazing this area and she gave me a start of comfrey. Is doing well in a pot on my patio. I plan to be making some comfrey Salve in the near future. God bless you keep you safe.

I bought some Bocking 14 about 10 years ago and planted it in different places at the edge of my garden and lawn. I just dug up 2 plants, replanted a piece in the original spaces and then planted 33 other pieces of those original plants at the edge of my gardens and the side of my house. I want it to stop the encroachment but I also will use it for chop and drop and Jadam fertilizer tea. The new planted areas will keep me from having to chop it and put it in a wheel barrow to spread it in my garden. I make Jadam (Korean) comfrey tea by chopping up a bunch of comfrey and stuffing it into a 32 gallon black garbage can. I pack the comfrey tight up to about 3/4 of the garbage can. I throw in some leaf mold and sea salt, wait about three months and mix the solution 1 part tea to 10 parts water. You can keep adding the comfrey and water. It's freeze proof over the winter. It works and you will never run out of the stuff. The Russian Bocking 14's NPK is 1.8 - 0.5 - 7. Buying it was one of the smartest things I've ever done for my garden and my back

A tip which many know of is NOT to steep… all the benefits can be had by putting cut leaves dry in a container with holes and letting them break down and drip into a lower one. Best to set up with little evaporation so a lid and tight joining pots r the best. This concentration can be bottled and used as needed. With no STINK! !!

I’m in the far northwest Canada. Comfrey composted tea as a fertilizer helps replace the nitrogen. Only grow it in containers as it can be invasive. I’m not sure why the government has declared it illegal but Our Canadian government has decided that Russian Olive is also supposed to be invasive. Russian Olive coincidently replaces the nitrogen & stabilizes hillsides.

Tony Workman, COMFREY is not illegal in the US. You'll find warnings put out by the FDA that it is toxic to the liver. If you research a little further, you'll find that, as is often the case, the warning is based on consumption of copious amounts, which would be very difficult to do. I've grown and used it internally and topically for 35 years, and know many others that do as well. It's irreplaceable as a poultice for sprains and bruising. The comfrey calendula salve I make is very effective to keep skin from drying out and cracking (hands and feet constantly exposed to dirt or water), to speed healing and minimize scarring, besides being safe for children and the animals. As a tea, it's great to help knit broken bones and for cleansing and soothing sinuses. I encourage you to not let fear keep you from the blessing of this wonderful plant.

That Comfrey is a deep root mineral accumulator is actually an old wives tale. There's been a few actual studies on the plant that show it has an average root depth and an average accumulation compared to other tubers and root plants. I have it in my food forest for the weed block do to it's density of growth, path edging, fast growth for mulch and it makes a very nice tea. Plus, it's a very nice looking plant that doesn't require a lot of maintenance. I've over a thousand varieties of edible and medicinal plants in my food forest. 3 different varieties of Comfrey.

Thanks for this! I had one comfrey plant 2 years ago and now they come up everywhere!😁 I see them as plant feeding stations! This has given me the idea to plant some round our fruit trees and shrubs to help cut down a bit of grass growth and to bring up minerals-as well as bringing in more pollinators. And now is just the right time to do that, so great stuff!

Geese usually like to mate in water, when we had our geese we had an old child's plastic sandpit (like a big blue clam shell which consisted of a top & a bottom) we used 1 half as a bathing pond for them, it was the perfect height for the geese to clamber into & they only mated when they were in the pond, it was also light enough for us to tip it out to refill if if got too dirty. just a suggestion. :-)

Had a lot of problems with weeds like nettles and bindweed invading from the neigbours garden, so I transplanted Cumfrey along the fence early this summer. Great success, no more weeds and the neighbours chickens devour every bit of Cumfrey they can reach, so there is no need to worry that it will invade their garden. Of course also great for mulching and composting these leaves.

It is! Even just a small root can turn into a plant very quickly.

I’ve read articles and heard KZitem videos say that comfrey can have roots 4-6 feet deep, trying to get rid of it is challenging.

Some people do, a lot of people don't. I know in the past there have been some concerns over liver toxicity but there is conflicting advice and evidence to suggest it is perfectly safe, especially to drink as an infused tea...but as always make sure you do your own research. We personally don't use it as a food for humans.

When I looked comfrey up, it says it is poisonous to humans and animals. You say your goats and chickens eat it. Do you have dogs, cats, cattle, and horses that have found it safe to eat?

We have never read that its poisonous, but that there has been some research into toxicity from over feeding. We would never recommend feeding livestock solely on comfrey, but have never seen any problems occur from using it. We used to feed our cattle with it, I doubt dogs and cats would be interested.

@@TapoNothFarm It is not recommended to be eaten on WebMD or ncbi websites. Many many major dangers for both humans and animals. I didn't fully read the articles, but, I wonder if it could pass through the eggs or meat of chickens and do some of the harm it mentions the same way mercury and lead do. Just trying to be cautious. Please be careful and fully research each thing you eat.

Comfrey can be harvested 3-6 times per year. Some people have tried to feed only comfrey and that is too much comfrey for a person or animals.

It's been fed to goats, horses for many hundreds of years with no problem.The powers-that-be decided to call it poisonous after a boy mistook Foxglove leaves for Comfrey and died. Researchers probably gave toxic level amounts to animals and declared it unsafe. Lettuce is toxic in large enough amounts!
