What good is the plant then? Even to use as fertilizer would it be harmful?
The plant is great as a fertilizer and has been used for many years for medicinal purposes. The problem is that many people are self-medicating without knowing the risk that comes with the plant itself. I didn't put this out to scare you but to inform you of the pros and cons and my perspective on the plant. Many licensed horticultural doctors can properly advise you on whether you should use this for medicinal uses but if you have any predispositions to kidney or liver issues, I caution you on following random people's claims of this being a miracle plant. I hope this clarifies and Thanks for watching! 😁🌱
@@TurfTherapy You definitely brought some insight aside from the popular rhetoric of comfrey as a miracle plant. 💊 🌱I'm glad your appreciation for eggplant has grown since you've harvested your own
@@TurfTherapy This should be added to the beginning of Each Educational tutorial that speaks about matters of Ingestable sustainability. Thank you Broke for sharing your experiences with us.
Yeah, are any of those independent scholarly studies, or are they just filled with opinions? As we are taught in school, I look for cited sources and credible research. I have heard many anecdotal wonders about this plant, with no credible research supporting it. Do as you wish, though.
@Critical Strike Forge Furthermore, let's look at this logically if this plant is capable of the wonders that are claimed. The capitalistic nature of Big Pharma would have kicked into high gear and synthesized this to make trillions of dollars off of it years ago. My elders always told me that if it sounded too good to be true, it usually was not true. But I digress. As I said. Do what you wish my friend ✌️🏾🌱
I have learned that if the FDA says it’s bad for you…. IT’S PROBABLY REALLY GOOD FOR YOU!
The FDA said avoid infant formula early last year because it was killing kids. You should've stocked up by that logic.
Yesss
@TurfTherapy if you look at infant formula it's got bad ingredients in it... if I would have known when my kids were little they would not have had it... just like those 3 letter agencies say vaccines are safe then why did my boys obtain lifelong issues from them
Yea we avoided most brands of formula for that very reason. Luckily we have been in Europe for a couple years and there are much safer options.
Country is bad for you if you eat it
I broke my foot in July..... Used poultices daily and it healed me in 6 -8 weeks. Amazing since I am 75. Be sure to plant this awesome herb! It will be a blessing to you in a multitude of ways in the garden, for yourself and your animals
♥️🇺🇸
How does it work? On hurt knees or broken leg
I appreciate that the front of your house is sprawling with edible plants. Keep gardening brother
I am so grateful for Comfrey. I have True Comfrey, Symphytum Officinalis, it is the most beneficial garden/farm plant for us. True comfrey doesn't spread via root it spreads through seed drop and it produces seeds several times through the growing season so you do have to keep up on it. I make an all natural very potent fertilizer, Comfrey compost tea, and my tomatoes, potatoes, onions thrive with it high in phosphorus and potassium good nitrogen too. Stinging nettle is a great composter, fertilizer too and very high in nitrogen and a good people food too loaded with protein and nutrients galore. I have arthritis and have been using Comfrey Salve, poultice and even Comfrey Tea made with the dried leaves for digestive issues on occasion. Most Homeopath MDS still use topical Comfrey but are not allowed to prescribe for internal use. I don't care for traditional medical practices and only use nature for healing so I don't follow the FDA guidelines.
You're so smart and wise
I have stage 2 fatty liver cirrhosis, could I drink comfrey, I’ve heard it helps cirrhosis?
@@Earth2Flo-v6f Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which have been thought to cause liver damage in lab rats that is why it is no longer prescribed for internal use. Alcohol, Tylenol (Acetaminophen), tobacco and a plethora of other substances can be harmful to the liver in humans due to their chemical compounds so you would avoid those substances even though they are still allowed to be sold under the FDA. You must always do your own research for the sake of your health just because something is readily available approved or not approved does not mean that it is beneficial. God bless you on your journey to better health.
@@Earth2Flo-v6f I don't know that comfrey would be advisable if you have fatty liver. Comfrey has some components that have been linked to liver toxicity, and they are touched on starting at ~ the 3:29 time point in this video.
Great advise. Definitely don’t ingest comfrey yourself! Great on the garden as a fertiliser or chop drop fertiliser or comfrey-fertiliser “tea” for plants but not for humans!!
I knew a man years ago, who had asthma, and if he was having an asthma attack, he would go out in the garden and grab some comfrey leaves, and just start eating them. It gave him relief from his asthma attack, he told me. I saw him doing it and I wasn’t sure at first why he was eating the leaves, but he later explained.
Yes it does. I have done it too.
It’s called Bocking 14, not Blocking. 😁. And the alkaloids in it are extremely mild, especially in the leaves, compared to other plants in the same family, but Comfrey has been lumped in with all the rest.
It also needs to be grown in the ground rather than a pot. The whole point of Comfrey is that it sends deep roots down to pick up the rich array of nutrients from the subsoil. That’s what makes it such a useful plant.
☝ this.
What exactly is bocking 14?
@@nadirahcroom1938 it’s the variety of Comfrey. Not sure why it was called that by the hybridiser. It’s a variety that apparently doesn’t spread everywhere like the wild version.
No one has any proof of these deep root mining claims. Literally ZERO credible scholarly studies support these claims… prove me wrong. I will wait…
You took growing in containers to another level when I saw the sugar cane in that small pot. Great job!
Comfrey tincture healed my knee pain. I wouldn't eat it either, but I would use it topically again.
👌
Where can I find this plant ? I live here in Florida and I really need to find this plant!!!!!!
@@queenvashti2889 You can buy the root online and plant it in your yard. You can order the tincture and use it right away. Reach out to your friends in your area and ask them if they know where any is growing as well if you need it right away, fresh.
All 10 of us children had green drinks when young with comfrey included. We all are seniors and healthy.. its the roots that can cause problems
Very scientific
What a great moment that’s gonna be with you and your Dad 🥰 I hope it’s the sweetest most awesome sugarcane EVER❣️
I hope so too! Thanks for swinging by Sis😀👸🏾🌱
Good comfrey info, Turf and a nice harvest on the back end. Have a great weekend, Battle!
Beautiful video! Love the memory with the sugar cane and your father and how you will use it to surprise him on both of your birthdays celebration. NEAT!!! Happy Birthday to the both of you. Thank you for all the wonderful information on comfrey and on the tomato plants. Full watched and L the video. Cheers!
I love that you're in a beautiful suburban neighborhood. It shows that you don't have to have several acres to grow nutritious food. Your presentation is very relaxing. Have a wonderful day.
I really appreciate the heads up about the growth habits of different kinds of comfrey and the prickles and irritation in handling. I like to know the precautions of plants as much as benefits. It's only responsible to do so and I appreciate it.
Turf...this is some GREAT information fam! Thank you for sharing because I’m absolutely clueless when it comes to comfrey! Great harvest too.
-Calvin
I don’t trust the FDA!
ruclips.net/video/gFXsqTE8_G0/видео.html
…And rightfully so. If they say it’s bad, do your research. It’s probably GREAT. I shudder to think of all of the miracle plants and other things that have been suppressed by FDA so we would buy in to their pharmaceuticals. No more!
That is great information about comfrey !! Those are some beautiful tomatoes. The line are nothing but love !! Great Harvest !! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. It's 🍵 time !! Us Virgo's love tea😆 😆
Great information
Comfrey is a must have in the garden
Much respect bro
Always such great information... thank you so much for sharing.
Very informative your tomatoes eggplants and sugar cane are beautiful and lush your Dad is going to enjoy it TFS
Thank you for the name of your tomato, Soldaki as a good one to grow. Will be trying it next year.
Thank you Turf for sharing another great video I know you are packing to leave soon I hope you and your family have a safe jeroney.
Great information! You're easy to listen to as well. Many thanks 👍🙏❤️
Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Information. That is going to be a nice moment with your dad. Best birthday gift.
I think so too! Thanks for watching😀🌱
Thanks for the information, it's great to be informed. I had questions about the internal ingestion of comfrey.
I grew mine from heirloom seeds and the seeds are very fertile. I started with two plants, one lavender one pink. Now I've got about 20 growing throughout out the gardens. They seem to improve soil where I plant it.
Very informative video.. Thanks for the specifics on the comfrey.
Just came across your Video Presentation, and I found it to be extremely interesting and very nicely down . Will be searching for more of your video's and ask that you please make more! 12:47
What an amazing urban garden. I’m sure your plants love your respect for them. So cool. I’m in Tennessee now but I grew up in NO. I remember getting sugar cane when I was young too.
Can't wait to see the sweet moment with your Dad🥰
This is my first time on your channel you gave lot's of information on the comfrey plant I was just told about the comfrey plant but you gave great knowledge to know it should not be eaten as the last person stated thank you
So pretty plant and good information. 👏👏👏❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!!! Comfrey, tomatoes, egg plants, and sugar cane. What don't you grow Turf, lol!!! Awesome job!!!
Really good info. Thanks for sharing.
Awww.....that's really nice you want to share with your Father.
Excellent info on comfrey, thanks! I just subscribed.
Thanks for sharing. 💜💜💜 I had Blocking 14 but I put it outside too soon and it died here in CT 6 B. Have to plant some more. Great Info Share. 🤟🏽 AuntieEllen
Hey fam @Turf Therapy another useful tip I've learned about comfrey is , it's a natural fodder food for chickens and other backyard farm animals 👍🏾✌🏾👌🏾☮️💯✅😁happy plantings
Enjoyed the video. Thank you for the information about the comfrey
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 🌱
Thanks for sharing your gardening experiences. I used to do eggplant s and tomatoes in buckets.
How special sharing 'sweet' memories! God bless!
Nice container garden, and nice selection. Good idea to do a PSA on Comfrey! And your idea to save the best of your sugar cane for a special nostalgic treat for your and your dad’s birthdays. 👍
I just purchased some comfrey roots but wish i had seen your video first. Really enjoy your enthusiasm and hope you have a fab time w your dad!
Comfrey is still a great fertilizer! But just like most things, it can have a few risks if not used properly
@@TurfTherapy Yes, I agree and as you suggest have been using it carefully. Thank you again.
Thank you for all the sharing
Thanks for the video. Comfrey is one of the best plants for rejuvenating the skin from skin ailments, repairing bones. There have many salves made from this plant. I make them myself and my pain has improved tremendously. I also apply it on my skin, great on the skin.
What are some others?
Just found your channel. Love it!
Lol!! 😂 “wife been out sneak’n” enjoyed this video!
Great information. Thanks
Great Information, And The Tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅 The Cracks on the Tomatoes are called Cat facing Your Tomatoes are Delicious, Yes Babyyy The Sugar Cain and the Memory sounds Amazing, I Enjoyed hanging out with you. Sending Big hugs to Quita 💜💜
Thank you Aunt Linda! We love you Too! I am so excited to try this Sugar Cane🤤🤤🤤🤣
Wow! Thanks for the info on the comfrey! Never heard about this plant! Nice harvest my friend! No kidding with the tomatoes splitting. Apparently I was over-watering them. I wasted a lot of tomatoes last year. I was born in August as well. August 22nd. Happy birthday bro!
If you want to hear from a veterinary surgeon who uses it on his client's dogs then watch this and get educated on comfrey...ruclips.net/video/mUXzUPcOP8Q/видео.html
Very educational. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!🌱
Good information .
Thank You !
You’re welcome!
Dope channel fellow Melanin King! Infinite Blessings to you & yours! 💯
Hello Turf Therapy I agree with you on the chop and drop and keep it in a pot 👍
Thank You! I appreciate you watching😀🌱
Thanks for the info on comfrey. I ordered some cuttings and hadn't had time to research what blocking 14 meant.
BOCKING 14
Thank you for this, love all the different tomatoes! Have planted a tub of comfrey from seed about three years ago in a tub & doing great, think they need lots of root room, especially the depth & its a thirsty plant.. Its really good for the wildlife, bees especially love the flowers.. The leaves can be soaked in water for 4 to 6 weeks to make a really great strong fertiliser. Only a tiny splash to a gallon of water & free!! ... Wilted clean leaves can be bandaged onto sprains & bruises (not onto broken skin) Healing time is fast.. Yes it can be poisonous but you would need to ingest quite a lot over several consecutive days/weeks.. It is not an edible thing anyway.
Nice harvest, will be on the flipside market place looking for those tomatoes
Don't Blink😉🤙🏾🌱
Hey Turf!🖐 Amazing video and tips!👏 Thanks for sharing your knowledge about comfrey blocking 14!👏 Your tomatoes looks so delicious! Sugarcane looks great and will be precious memories with your Dad! 👍
I have cherokee purple tomatoes and brandywines in my garden but not ready yet! Just been harvesting early girl, big boy, better boy, romas, rutgers, and beefstake tomatoes so far! Blessings to you and fam!♥️ 🦋8/19/2021🦋
Good info Turf 👍
Thank's for the very useful info.... God bless :)
Awesome thank you from Texas
Thanks for sharing!
Surprise! 😂❤️ I had a few of those surprises too Turf. Great harvest! Very interesting about Comfrey, I wonder if there is some bleed over to our food from using comfrey as fertilizer? 🤔 I saw that corn you have there by that sugar cane 😉. We August babies are special 🎂🥳
Good question! Plants don't have livers so the Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids aren't metabolized the same way to enable transfer in a harmful manner based on current studies. But our skin is the biggest organ which is why I am hesitant on using it on my skin. August Babies are the Best all Year! LOL❤️🌱
Thanks man good info!!
Hello, just came from Lead 73's channel looking for your live. Great info on comfrey. Are the PA's in all comfrey varieties or just the one you have?
Good havesting my bro much love, who is our here throwing good tomatoes 🍅 they crazy nothing wrong with the ones that cracked up
Good info. Thanks so much.
You're welcome!
Comfrey is also good for putting in body butter for pain. it has not done me any harm.
Yes, it's excellent!
thanks for the content and some great adivce. i was told not to put them into containers because just like the amazing dandilion they have large tap roots that need to go down deep in order to soak up untapped minerals.
I have read that some established Comfrey can have roots 10 feet down!
@itsmelaura1533 no one has ever seen this 10ft root. Try to find an accredited independent study on it and it doesn’t exist. Just unfounded assumptions without any results that can be reproduced
I love comfrey, amazing. Used a comfrey cream on my hip that was inflamed with bursitis. Loved the results.
Finally, a voice of sanity about comfrey! Good grief, it’s invasive in NC per extension website. You are the ONLY lad clever enough to understand what he plants in his garden?! (bonus points for using a grow pot to contain the comfrey). And hey, you are delightful to watch and most personable. 👍🏻
BOCKING 14 will NOT spread. it IS highly easily grown from a root fragment, so someone plowed the comfrey plants in your field if it spread widely ! or its the strain that does spread by seed, which has yellow blooms, not the purple-blue of BOCKING 14 from the doubleday foundation
@@4712guest thank you for that clarification! Good to know.
Yep I said that
Wait! I live in Southwestern Louisiana! I literally have a cane field behind my house. They grow really tall, and get sweeter with time. A big treat when we were kids was to chew on a park of the cane stalk.
With eggplant (particularly the Black skinned Aubergine type) try this: cut it into approximately half inch thick slices, brush each side with sesame oil (and then allow to soak in), then (very lightly) sprinkle/rub each side with Chinese 5-Spice powder and then fry the slices in a frying pan, turning the slices at least once, till cooked. Don't knock it till you've tried it. 😊
🤤
Thanks for the info
Good to know about the comfrey. There is some growing on our property and I was like what do we do with that.
Glad I could help!😀🌱
thank God you have such great medicine and start using it!
see my other post where I commented.
Interesting information.
Wow! Sugar Cane??? I have not had sugar cane since my Louisiana days. Egg plant, hmm I may have to grow that before it gets too cold here. Thanks sharing. Be blessed! 💜
You should do it! I use to think I didn't like it but turns out i just needed to grow it myself😀🌱
@@TurfTherapy I have never had it before but I’m hearing it great! Be blessed 💜
Informative video.
Thank you for showing men how they can eat clean fruits and vegetables to take better care of themselves.
Informative video! Video shared
You have an awesome garden
Thank You!
Nice cuz thanks!
I’ve been looking and calling garden centers all around me for comfrey, no one has it. So I’m wondering if you ever sell any of your cuttings, probably only need one baby. We are here in MD also. I almost ordered it from EBay today, but then I saw your video.
Enjoyed your video. Hope you and your Dad have a great visit and celebration!
There are a number of sources on the internet. Be aware of the different characteristics of the different varieties. True Comfrey is cheap to purchase as seeds. It is cheap because it is easily propagated (and is therefore VERY invasive). The bocking varieties (b14 and b4) are the hybrids that have sterile seeds. More difficult to propagate, these varieties are more expensive. These varieties are sold as root cuttings, crowns and plants. In addition to the medicinal properties (it is called knitbone due to it's reputed ability to speed the healing of broken bones and is also supposedly good for arthritic joints) and benefits as a fertilizer, it is also good fodder for critters. True Comfrey and bocking 4 are well liked, some folks say that bocking 14 isn't liked by rabbits and chickens because it is too bitter. So we have a multi-use plant that is well worth the cost if you choose the hybrids.
Great video! I feel the same way about the eggplant 🍆 😊
😀
Heyyy fam...never seen green eggplants tomatoes looking awesome...Great sugarcane history
You have some very confused, very beautiful tomatoes. 😜 Thanks for the comfrey info. I won't be making salves with it either.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Thanks for the laugh ❤️🌱
The first tomato actually looks like a Cherokee Purple. Or possibly the seeds are actually hybrids reverting to the parents? I have comfrey in pots and hope to plant them as a pseudo hedge. There must be a reason that one nickname is "knitbone"!
Your sugar cane like great! I would love to grow some next season.
Stay tuned because I will be giving some away in live in a few weeks😀🌱
yet another educational vlog by turf. man u must start teaching a class or something. ive learned so much. and im a daughter and granddaughter of farmers. yet i dont farm/grow anything. im a lawn and garden enthuse.
Wow, thanks, I am learning everyday and it makes me smile that you learned something from my videos😀🌱
The Bocking 14 type of comfrey does not spread I haveseveral of mine planted in several places-in ground and they die back in the winter and grow right back up in the spring. I grow them in the ground because it has a long taproot that goes deep down and sequesters minerals from the soil way beyond the where most of our plant's roots can reach so, when we chop and drop the comfrey leaves, they get way more minerals from the depths of the soil that can't really be gotten so easily
from a containerized plant. If you plant your containerized comfrey in the ground you will be happily surprised to see how much more robust it'll grow for you.
I wish people listened and were original.
We Workin, nice license plate by the way 🤫🤫😆😆
First I've heard of the supposed cancer causing agent in it. I have heard it's advisable not to eat it because of liver damage but anytime you misuse a drug....even a herbal drug it can be dangerous. But I hear it's great for chop and drop. You did say it was high in nitrogen which is great. I bought two a few months ago but they are still in pots. Thanks for the info!
The 'danger' is BS and designed to denigrate it and keep people AWAY from something that has helped mankind for centuries. An Australian CSIRO scientist 'found more PAs' in it than anyone before. Same guy misquoted amounts from other research in his paper - wrong info that has never been corrected.
You have to know Big Pharma funds studies to diss (denigrate) anything they don't want you using and/or finding out how effective it is.
I have collected old books on comphrey...pigs with the HEALTHIEST livers (the organ the studies reckon show damage from comphrey) the butcher had ever seen.
It is the only plant that draws Vit B12 from the soil. The only multi-cropping plant that could feed animals and people in 3rd world countries.
Just like they did with laetrile (vit b17 from apricot kernels) they tell you has cyanide and will kill you. What they don't tell you is that ONLY the CANCER cells have the enzyme that breaks down laetrile into cyanide (& kills only the cancer cell as a result). Normal cells do NOT have tge enzyme to break laetrile down so are fine. It is the most targeted cancer therapy ever..yet they make sure everyone thinks it is poisonous.
it's a brilliant strategy - by Big Pharma - to spread MIS-information about comphrey, and STUPIDLY people repeat it, instead of investigating it for themselves.
You can dry it, powder it and eat it..with no ill effects. it is called "all heal" and "knitbone" for a reason. Also put in olive oil and heat up or put in sun to extract what the leaves contain. Rub resulting oil on bruises, varicose veins scratches and watch them heal rapidly.
Don't swallow unquestioningly all you are told by people repeating what they were told. Research it for yourself, like I have. Try it externally first. if you have internal issues, powder it, mix 1/2 teaspoon with eg yoghurt (yep, tastes like grass) and watch your issues lessen and go away.
if worried get bloods done (re liver function) before and after taking for a while. test it yourself.
I would only be worried if I shoved 5800 leaves (the equiv of how they dosed baby rats to produce one with a liver tumour) into my mouth at one time.
1/2 teaspoon dried comphrey is about 1 very large leaf). FYI. At 1/2 teaspoon, that is 11,600 days that is years before you will ingest what they injected (note diff route of administration too) into BABY rats for this one experiment.
see how they fool you with 'the science' you religiously accept at face value from those science 'oracles'.
pS I am a scientist (biochemist)..and I dislike being lied to be established interests.
If you look for Comfrey and scientific studies, you get not much that is positive. Like Turf Therapy says, "if it will hurt me when taken internally, I dont want to use it topically either!"
I bought one in a pot and planted it round the side and a year later it was 3 feet across, it died right back after flowering, but regrew again from the original center and its possibly same size to a little bigger in second year. To me it looks beautiful deep green, and I regularly use the older leaves munched up a bit to fertilize other plants. Some plants grow very robust from having comfrey leaves crumpled up and or just placed on the soil around the plant.
Thank you.
Nice looking tomatoes. I’d like to grow those red reds.
Delicious in salads!
The green tomatoes from last year might have been a hybrid and the subsequent tomatoes from those seeds will show characteristics of the parents of the green tomatoes
I have the original comfrey but I cut & use all of it so it never goes to seed, no need for the sterile Bocking 14. I use it successfully for accidents/swelling. I never take it internally.
this plant looks like it has some nice flowers on it,I might just plant it for the flowers,never to eat.
