COMFREY PLANT The Best Companion Plant for Your Fruit Trees!

- The Comfrey plant is no doubt the best companion plant for your fruit trees!
Why?
Because it repairs soils by driving roots deep down into the subsoil making opening for water and oxygen to move through the profile.
While it's doing this it's also bringing back to the surface locked-up nutrients into the leaves.
These leaves then break down and are recycled back to the plants on the surface.
The Comfrey plant can also be used as a poultice for injuries such as broken bones or bad bruising therefore giving it the age-old nickname Knit-bone!

I love growing comfrey
Two types grow well in cold wet Scotland . The dried dead leaves are fantastic soil conditioner i found . Can get a wee bit invasive and root bits in the compost will haunt you forever .
I have heard that, hasn't become a problem for me, but in Scotland I see it could be the perfect grow place for it
I love growing comfrey...mine grew good in Nsw sun... my chooks love it..I also make liquid fertilizer with it too.
Awesome, great for the chooks
Another short video packed with a powerful message on how to grow...Well done as usual, Marty.
Thank you kindly Dad!
I've grown comfrey for years, mostly as a groundcover and to add to the compost.
I have the variety Bocking 14 that roots really deep and doesn't spread by seed like other types, so I can choose where it grows. Cheers!
I appreciate you sharing the variety type. I am not sure what type mine is. In flower now
Worms love it too…
They do, yes
It loves growing in cool moist places near creeks or moist shaded places in the forest. As you said it doesn't like the full sun or dry areas.
Thanks for sharing!
❤ keep putting up ya video love Good vibes brother
Thank you, I will. More grow table videos are in production now!
Thanks for sharing. New subscriber to your channel. 👍
Awesome thank you!
Thx mate. I've been planning to plant this for years. Thanks for your tips they'll help heaps.
No problem 👍 your very welcome
I love comfrey, and have grown it for decades. I am curious if I can plant it near my raspberries to help them thrive, as I notice how rich the soil is around my comfrey plants. I don't want to choke them out with comfrey is the thing. What are your thoughts? Also, I've been trying to find a place to plant extra strawberries, and am thinking of a bed around my comfrey. I have lots of issues with slugs, so am wondering if the slugs might find the cool environment around the comfrey a little TOO inviting, though! INTERESTING VIDEO!
And I use comfrey as mulch in the garden, to make comfrey tea for fertilizer, too, and as a chop and drop fertilizer for adding organic material to the garden beds.
Comfrey I find is better planted under a canopy
I've started growing comfrey but I think I should move it cause where it is it's in full sun..if I was to plant it under a lime tree would that be okay even though it's in a sunny position it will still get the shade from being under the tree ?.. I've just discovered your channel and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing especially about worm farming your explanations have been very helpful.🖐️🙂
It prefers to be out of the heat. If it’s under the tree should be fine
@@martysgarden yes I moved them today under a tree. Thanks Marty 👍
Comprey - can be invasive if left alone.😊
Hmm never seen that,,but in the right conditions I believe you
Love my comfrey! Just about to make comfrey ointment..the good old fashioned deep green stuff not the pale creams we get now. Awesome for broken bones, fractures, bruises, sprained ankles, as long as the skin isn’t broken you can use it.
Apparently in the Great Depression they used to batter the leaves and eat them, they called it false fish.
Animals love to eat it if they are unwell.
It was the first thing I planted when I moved in here 7 months ago.
@@Dani_Girl8 how do you make the ointment if you don't mind me asking ? Thanks
@@sharont2878I harvest a heap of leaves in springtime, rinse them then dehydrate them. Once crispy dry I grind them up in thermomix to a powder. I add this to a large glass flagon then fill it with good olive oil and leave it sit for 8-12 weeks.
I strain the oil through a fine sieve then in a double boiler I melt beeswax and add the oil. Pour into jars.
@@Dani_Girl8 thanks for sharing the process of it . If I get enough comfrey leaves I might try it one day. Cheers 🙂
Where can I get it? Haven’t seen it in Bunnings
Hunt around you will find it eventually
I got mine from Bunnings
