Mmmmm I guess whatever it is then it is deep rooted and probably mush down to good feed.

I have heard nettles are good also nettle tea is good for losing weight

You sting your tongue so badly you cant eat for a week ;D ;D ;D

There are other plants which in the leaf stage at this time of the year, look like comfrey:  borage, alkanet.  There's also Foxglove. 
There are several comfrey's including - Russian comfrey (ht to 5ft plus in some cases), Soft comfrey, which has white flowers and less coarse leaves than Russian comfrey, Tuberous comfrey (which is not Borage), this has white flowers and not as tall as soft comfrey.  Russian comfrey has deep tap-root type roots (and there is a theory that because of these deep roots, they pick up nutrients from the soil which then go up into the leaves and that's why the leaves are good for making comfrey 'juice' as a fertilizer or for putting on the compost heap)

HHHhhhmmmmmmmmmmm?
Just emptied out contents of comfrey pipe and it smells of tea!!!
Was expecting it to be pongy.....

I wish now, when I built pipe, I had put a stainless scourer/pot scrubber in bottom of bottle as the mushy stuff stops liquid coming out....
