I am enjoying your video and reading the comments, but am flabbergasted that you’ve only replied to a tiny fraction of the questions - especially where the opportunity exists for you to sell your comfrey cuttings. I hope you are able to remedy this, otherwise, what’s the point of even saying you’re selling comfrey, when in fact you’re NOT.
I dug up some Comfrey root, dug a hole where I wanted it, put the root in the hole, filled in the hole, dumped some water on it and forgot it. It is coming up like crazy. It’s a weed.
I took some of mine and filled a plastic barrel and filled it about 65 percent full of leaves and filled the barrel with water covered it and in 2 weeks that water was green and I used it to organically fertilize my garden and when I used it all I dried what was left of the leaves and used for composting
Hello! I will be selling comfrey roots again but I am not at this time because we just moved last fall. I brought cutting with me but I need to let them get some size first. Thank you for your interest.
Why haven't you brought up any of them medicinal qualities have Comfrey?? I just learned about this plant and bought some root cuttings from Etsy!! It's a miracle cure for bruises and breaks and aches and pains and arthritis! I'm going to make make salves & poultices. It's tap Root goes deep into the ground as you mentioned, to bring up vitamins and minerals that are found really in no other plant leaf. You didn't mention that it's also something you can make fertilizer out of for the rest of your garden! I'm going to make comfrey tea in a bucket and use that as a fertilizer that's immediately available to my plants. You really should mention something other than it having pretty little purple flowers. LOL 😆 I did learn what I needed to know about how quickly I could expect some growth. Thanks for that!
I'm planting them in a mix of potting soil and compost. Super simple! If you are still looking, our root cutting will be available at the end of the month. You can find them at: www.myrollinghillsfarm.com/store/p35/Bocking_14_comfrey.html Thanks for watching!
Mandie, Thank you for checking our website out. We will have comfrey available at the end of May into the summer. It is just doesn't warm up here in ND to offer it any sooner than that. Check back at the end of May. I will be happy to help you get some of your own comfrey, it is such a great perennial! I'm going to update that listing because I have had several people confused by it. Thank again!
We bought 60 acres of land about 4 months ago and found NO comfrey, so disappointing. Maybe they don't grow in the wild and has to be planted but we have lots of other edible/medicinal weeds. So my questions is, if I want tons of comfreys growing in my land for many type of uses including permaculture use, would it makes sense to plant the kind that spread from seeds and not do the Bocking 14 kind?...as long as they both have the same benefit of uses, then I would prefer the kind that spread itself...less work for me...hehe.
If it was me I would still use bocking 14 because even when we think we want an abundance of something there is a point when it is too much and I have heard bad stories about comfrey spreading from seed and taking over. The bocking 14 is really easy to propagate so although it does take some effort on your part, it really is only planting some root chunks. They will grow from very small pieces too. You can have an abundance in no time. :)
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. If you are interested I have an entire page dedicated to free printable gardening guides on my website. You can find them all here: www.myrollinghillsfarm.com/gardening_guides_resources_freebies.html Happy planting!
So glad you like the video! To answer your question, comfrey likes the sun but it will do just fine with a little shade. It's such an easy to grow plant and so good for your garden and the wildlife! If you need any cuttings we will have some this spring. Thanks for watching!
