I want to start growing some comfrey. Does anyone have any roots going spare? Not sure I really have anything to swap- but will pay for postage!
thanks

Hi got mine from Allotment Chick ;)
if you go to Non edible plants and check the thread Comphrey a must have herb you can read how we got it. Click on her name and send a private email she normaly sells it on ebay the plants she sent me were great.
Good luck
Teresa

Comfrey is the worst possible thing to plant any where. It is allergenic, utterly invasive and irremovable.

Hi Eric
AC comphrey was 14 I think?  it did not set seeds so all ok. ;)
Great for the compost heap, liquid feed and the root is used to mend broken bones.  :o
Dont worry Eric I would not send a young man off on a wild goose hunt  :-[ hee hee

I have been pouring weedkiller on it for the last 8 years and it still keeps on coming back up. Now it even grows in the hedgerow just down the road, seeds itself everywhere and has roots like dock. Worst of all neither Anne nor I can touch the leaves without getting blisters, worse than any nettle sting. I loathe the stuff.
