Mike I've a comfrey plant that grows as fast as I cut it back - 5' high and 6 feet around. I can't kill it. Hairy purple flowers. What can I use it for? Bob

You will find that by far the best way to grow comfrey is by root
cutting,Take a piece about half the length of your thumb and stick it just
under the surface of the soil and it should take.Be careful on the variety
,some have nutrient levels that are lower and yeilds that are really not
worth the hassle.Lawerence D Hills is the guy to read.He devoted his life to
comfrey.Very interest story but I will stop now before I get shouted at for
wasting too much space....
If you need more drop a line off the list.
