I want to put some comfrey in my garden. I remember it being in my grandparents' garden and being used on bruises and sprains. Is it easy to grow? I was talking to my Dad about it earlier today and he said it was a pain to get rid of as it seeds everywhere.
Got loads of it on my allotment site, which is good as it makes a good organic fertilizer. You can put the leaves in with your spuds or make a comfrey & nettle tea, which when diluted you can water on your plants.
Sure, youre dad is correct, once you have it you will struggle to get rid of it....the roots really travel...grow it in a tub maybe...the tap root will go really deep if you plant it out.
If youre a gardener, cut the plant down when its quite tall and lay it on the ground on your spuds...its very good plant food.
