Inspired to grow my own comfrey. Thanks Nick🌱

I love this video. I like the low key casualness, and the dogs, and that bee at the end! Keep doing what you’re doing! This would be a joy to watch even if I wasn’t a gardener.

I love comfrey and it is a wonderful medicinal plant. Back in the day it was called ‘knit bone’, so if someone breaks a bone it can cut the mend time in half. My daughter broke bones in her foot and every evening she applied a poultice of comfrey to the area, (removeable cast) while resting. Her doctor was amazed how quickly she healed. It’s amazing for so many things. Great video Nick!!!

Guess what! My husband and I watched your original film today together. So inspired, we went to the garden and decided what would be our “back to eden” section since he said he wanted “some” grass. ALSO, I researched some sites and apparently on my local neighborhood site someone offered FREE wood chips. I contacted him tonight and he said come and get it. Thank you sooooo much and God Bless!!!!!

This guy really did a wonderful job in demonstrating how to cut back the comfrey plant. I've got some in our back yard. I'll try to follow his cutting back directions.

@krystalr7851 4 года назад

Thank you for the video. I have a comfrey in the front of my house that I love. It's big, beautiful, and the bees just love it. I've been looking for more information on it and hope to transplant some of it closer to my garden in the back yard. I appreciate the information on cutting back and managing it, as it does get very tall and falls over which is just unsightly. Thanks again. Thumbs up and new subscriber.

Keep making vids of this garden. Especially the animals in the garden, dogs, chickens, bees. All good stuff

@lucylee1472 4 года назад

I just ordered comfrey, I'm so excited to grow it, this video let me know what to expect so I know where I want to plant it knowing how big it gets and how often it can be cut. Thank you.

@tracycrider7778 2 года назад

It get 3 ft tall can cut back 3-5xs a year

Thanks Nick! I would love to see you more do more videos on making fermented plant juice 😀. also just videos of yourself doing things around the farm such as planting, harvesting pruning, pest control, transplanting...

@HadasahB 5 лет назад

Really appreciated this video as i was wondering what to do with all the comfrey we have going insane in the flower beds. Moved here two summers ago and still haven't eradicated it... don't have chickens (or any stock to feed it to) to deal with it. I do NOT miss your videos!

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

You don't miss my videos?

@OhItsJustMe2 5 лет назад

I love your videos!!! I have never planted comfrey (not really sure of what it is but am going to find out lol). Thank you for all you do!!! I appreciate you!

You’re funny! Great videos too! Everything looks so healthy. Would love to hear your uses for comfrey. From Nova Scotia, Canada

@isabelladavis1363 4 года назад

A new subscriber what a lovely garden ,you can always tell when someone loves the soils and grows a garden,no where else I would rather beeeee lol...yes I’m going to be purchasing the blocking 14 seems to be the best variety and does not spread by seed,,,

@frances3424 4 месяца назад

I just found your sight looking up the comfrey plant and not being nosey I noticed your willow tree. I love willow trees and had two on my property but one became top heavy and fell over. Please make sure you trim your willow every couple years. The other one my husband had to cut because of the root system growing into our septic. Sorry about the sour advice but felt you needed to know. Safe better than sorry. God bless and thanks for the information on the comfrey plant.

I dehydrate mine and put it on top of garden in the late Fall to add nutrients back into soil

@kathleenperdue9753 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video, I sent for seeds and was wondering about more info on how to use it and care for it, so great video you do a great job. Say "HI" to Paul & Carol😍

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

Thank you! The only think is though that you will want to make sure you only get the "bocking 14" variety as the others will produce viable seeds and spread like wildfire

@3waroyrow2022 3 года назад

Thanks for the work you do though I see the challenge to video take yourself. Also for information about comfrey. ❤️ from 🇦🇪&🇰🇪

@c.roseproductions9596 5 лет назад

This was super helpful! Last spring someone gave us a bunch of roots and it’s now thriving. Glad to learn some uses and I didn’t know about cutting it back so great to learn. Thanks! Now I’m wondering what Carol uses Yarrow for? I have tons!! Maybe I can get on when you’re live this time and ask!

@tlneill Год назад

Great video and just what I was looking for. I planted Bocking 14 last year and this year it's huge! It's been blooming for a while (the bees were late this year though, extended cool spring for us.) I'm in a cold climate- 4 seasons. I know it's very hard to kill comfrey, but should I be harvesting differently because of my climate or because of its age?

@monkeebun Год назад

Just seen the video as I've started growing comfrey this year. It's a great video, very informative and you've got a cool presenting style- love it! I live in the northwest of England, so I doubt my comfrey will grow to the size of yours. By the way, what breed is your smaller dog? He's a cracker! Thanks for the video. I'll check out your others.

@ingevankeirsbilck9601 Год назад

Our comfrey here in Belgium grows to the same size, so you should be fine over there in England :-).

@monkeebun Год назад

Thanks for your support. Actually, this year (the 2nd), I have just harvested my plants and they were much bigger - almost 2 metres!! Already got new growth coming through.

@South4everrwe 5 лет назад

@ruanddu 4 года назад

Thanks Nick! Could you help me understand why you prefer Bocking 14 over Bocking 4?

@ailora2357 5 лет назад

Hi.. Could you tell me what you put between your rows to keep the weeds so beautifully absent? I need something that's natural because my dogs also like to wander around through the garden. Thank you!

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

I just pull them but I could make a video in more detail

@popcorn4030 4 года назад

What variety of strawberries are those ? And am curious as to how you use comfrey to treat bumble foot ?

@Kali08012 2 года назад

Should I keep my common comfrey plant in a pot bc I’m not planning on permanently living on the property I reside at at the moment, or could I plant it into the ground and propagate it later to my permanent property? To simplify my question is comfrey easy to propagate?

@fernly2 Год назад

Alfalfa has extremely deep roots

@user-nk4ly3pv2l Год назад

going to divide my comfrey and make a grass barrier, tg

@stevederheim2114 5 лет назад

Learned something else to grow, adding this to the list. Do you think its too late to throw seed in the ground?

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

You don't want to buy comfrey seed you want to get the bocking 14 variety in the form of a root division. It dosnt produce seed so it won't spread

@Kali08012 2 года назад

I shouldn’t cut the comfrey back until after it goes to flower?

@pnwgardenergal1325 5 лет назад

My comfrey suffers this year from slight powdery mildew and rust on the underside. Any thoughts ?

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

Just cut it back!

@ZE308AC Год назад

I heard it can heal a scratched eye

@Kerrin77JIH 5 лет назад

Are the nutrients too much for livestock though?

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

Animals aren't dumb they will only eat as much as they need of something at a time. The sheep will chew on a few leaves a week they dint keep it mowed down because they are living in mineral and nutritent dense pasture but if the animals were on poor pasture they would try to eat more than they do. Ideally you want to make sure your animals are already not deficient so that they don't want to overload their insides with such a rich concentrated source of food

@bottletreefarm7669 4 года назад

I have been feeding comfrey to all my livestock once a week for 15 yrs. The Dexter cows 🐄 sometime eat it and sometimes don't. The horses 🐎 eat it. The goats 🐐 eat it. The sheep smell it 🐑. The chickens devour it 🐔

@beverleeglasgow1194 5 лет назад

Nick is there a special kind I’ve heard it spreads can you tell us the difference Thanks

@GrowingBackToEden 5 лет назад

I did... Watch till the end... It's bocking 14

@donnasteward7670 Год назад

When you are a distance from your camera & mic, it's very hard to hear what is being said. Could you maybe start wearing your mic on your hat or shirt, so the sound doesn't fade to a whisper? Yes, comfrey is an absolute miracle plant!

@666Necropsy 4 года назад

FYI. you want people to thumb up or down the video. it makes no difference from youtubes point of view. in order to have your video be ranked higher in search results.
