I wonder what I am doing wrong.... Comfrey is meant to grow like wildfire? I have 5-6 plants (bocking 14) and they have looked poorly ever since they went in over a year ago. Only thing may be that they possibly compete with nearby horseradish but otherwise a bit disappointing. I am also the only person I know who has trouble growing mint.....
thanks tonybloke - dont know what my soil type is. Grow most things successfully (although also useless at carrots). It drains fairly well although occasional bits of clay hold that up. Maybe I should get a soil testing kit and be a bit more scientific about it, thanks
have a read of this, then p.m. me for a root cutting in the spring (bocking 14)http://www.allotment.org.uk/vegetable/comfrey/comfrey.PDF ;)

I've sent it to over 50 of our plotholders who are on our email group.
