Comfrey (Bocking 14) - 10 Root Fragments
Symphytum officinale
Comfrey is a quintessential permaculture plant with many diverse uses! It acts as a dynamic accumulator and can pull up minerals nutrients from up to 10-15 ft beneath the earth. Just chop and drop the leaves to help boost soil fertility. A fantastic liquid fertilizer (aka compost tea) can be made by soaking the leaves in water for a a week or longer. Bees love their delicate and dainty purple flowers. Comfrey can also act a rhizome barrier that keeps grasses or other creeping plants from encroaching. We plant comfrey around every fruit tree so that it provides a quick and easily accessible mineral supplement and soil building mulch for nearby plants.
Planting Instructions:
The ‘Bocking 14’ Comfrey does not spread like regular Comfrey. It spreads via root fragments, allowing you to control the location of the plant more easily. Root fragments are easy to plant. Simply, place them about two inches under mulched soil. Adding a bit of compost to the planting hole can help boost the first years growth.
