wanted comfrey seeds please

[chris]

VC - you can have some from me, next time I'm down the plot I'll get some for you (I have some sunk in the ground in pots).

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Chris. Lottie Dolly has offered me some but yours have the merit of being on my doorstep, so to speak! You're all so kind!!

[Ananke]

I planted some last year so should be able to share some in the spring. Is there anything I should know about taking root cuttings from it (i've never done this before)

[chris]

Thanks Chris. Lottie Dolly has offered me some but yours have the merit of being on my doorstep, so to speak! You're all so kind!!

I didn't read the whole thread, but to save LD posting it I'm happy to give you some - I can pop it on your doorstep on my way to work one day. If LD posts it though, just let me know

[veggiechicken]

LD's isn't ready yet - and yours wouldn't get lost in the post! Thanks again.

[chris]

Righto!

I'm hoping to get up there this weekend, so will drop you a PM if the thumb (aka wife) lets the pressure off so I can get away from decorating for a few hours.

[veggiechicken]

Thanks Chris. There's absolutely no rush. Whenever the pressure is lifted....

I wouldn't divide it this year, I'd let it get a bit bigger & stronger.

Then, you simply shove a sharp spade down into the clump & take off a section of root. Bung it in a hole, and a whole new clump will grow

comfrey

just seen this on ebay is this the right 11 RUSSIAN COMFREY, ORGANIC, Bocking 14, 11x2+inch (22 inch) Live root/cuttings | eBay stuff :-?

[stella]

If there is a spare root going I would like to try some thanks

[Two_Sheds]

just seen this on ebay

Bocking 14, yes, that's the one.

[simongimson]

cheers t s

[sowitgrowit]

If anyone has any root cuttings now spring is here I would love to make a Comfrey corner on my new allotment - is it wise to sink pots for the Bocking 14 variety also?

obviously postage paid and/or a swap in return. Thanks all.

[Two_Sheds]

is it wise to sink pots for the Bocking 14 variety also?

Nope.

The point of comfrey is that it sends down a big taproot to draw nutrients from way down deep in the soil. Don't confine it to a pot
