Surely someone on your site has comfrey? It's easily split and grows rapidly. If you really can't get any on your site, PM me. A good clump would be expensive to post though.

I got mine from the Organic Gardening catalogue www.OrganicCatalogue.com (http://www.organiccatalogue.com), I ordered 5 plants, for £5.75 and they sent 10 plants, so they are now coming out of our ears.
