The borage on my plot has gone mad this year-mainly because I love the flowers so much I can't bear to pull it up. I'm now wondering what to do to make the most of it. I have pulled up a load that was swamping my parsnips so wonder if I could put it in a bin and drown it to make plant food like comfrey , or leave it on the soil as a mulch,- does it matter that it has flowered (I know it will self-seed like mad). I still have quite a bit in situ and wonder whether it is worth stripping the leaves off, again for compost or feed. And finally, as it's an annual, is it ok to leave the roots in the ground and will they be beneficial to the soil?
