Comfrey

Actually ...not sure if this should be in the "edible" section ... I thought it would be nice in my herb garden . The flower is beautiful and the bees are loving it ..but I have heard it can be a thug and hard to get rid of .....so would it be o.k in a tub ?    Debbie

I ended up having mine in a big pot in a quiet corner of our plot that didn't get the easterlies blowing the spores across the plot as once it spread and was well rooted it could be a tad tiresome,that said,after seaweed tea ,comfrey leaf tea is also one of our favs to feed the tommies and cucs it do pong a bit and won't have you making new friends on the plot but the stink is worth it .
A good bunch of leaves in a hessian sack in a spare water butt will set you up for some
Odour toilette of the comfrey kind.

Try finding the variety 'Blocking 14' as this is a sterile variety so does not produce seed, therefore a lot  easier to control.
