I use a specific variety of Comfrey. Boking 14. This variety does not spread except if the root is broken up like by tilling the soil. Comfrey can be rather invasive as other varieties spread by seeds and roots. Pick the place you want the Comfrey as it takes an act of congress to get rid of it. Different articles I have read claim up to a 10 ft tap root like a dandelion on steroids. Thank you for the tip on drying it. Very useful.
So sorry but I do not sell seeds! Definitely try getting some from a friend if you can or Facebook Marketplace. It is totally fine for any type of compost you have! Thanks for watching.
Warning: It will never go away. At least in Oregon, this is a weed. We've never planted it and we've been battling to get rid of it for my entire life..
Some weeds are very beneficial! But this variety does not take over the garden; not sure which variety you have but that may be why we've had different experiences. Thanks for watching!
It's getting interested when you show plants with and without Comfrey compost, otherwise it is just a hear say and no backing of visual proof. ( Not saying it ain't true but people need to see and it ain't a complain, just a suggestion.)
Thanks for your comment! I agree, which is why I do plan on using my powder in one half of my bed and leave the other half as the 'control'. It would be interesting to see. But the thing about supplements is sometimes the benefits aren't so immediately apparent, but that doesn't mean it isn't working magic in your soil. It could need longer before we see progress in the form of better plant growth etc. There are lots of variables but in any case, why not try it!
I've been using Comfrey (Beinwell) for years and find your video well-made, informative, and spot-on.
Thanks so much for your kind comment. Happy gardening!
I planted a dozen of these for my garden fertilizer. It's wonderful! It also hrlps my compost pile. I also chop and drop it to mulch my garden.
Wonderful ideas! Compost truly is a miracle in the garden. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks for sharing...Enjoyed the video.

Whoa, 10 feet is incredible! You are correct; we don't have an invasive type so thankfully it hasn't been an issue. Thanks for your comment!
My friend just gave me a start of comfrey
That's how we got started with ours! You'll love it!
Can I purchase seed from you? I know you spoke about putting in your compost being. Is it OK for warm composting as well?

Grow the right variety and it isn't a problem
