    When you told me that comfrey grows quickly after a trim, you weren't joking. I chopped my bush (stop it now) three weeks ago and made the foul smelling concoction laughingly called comfrey tea, which is still brewing. Already the comfrey is a quarter of the way back with some large, healthy looking leaves. Wow.

        I really must stop drinking at the same time as reading these posts, thats the second time in a month I've sprayed the monitor laughing.

        I keep meaning to get some comfrey and forget until the next post. Now Flo, there is no easy way to say this, but the next time you bush is in need of 'grooming' would you be able to post a bit with roots up the M18?

                Not if you buy the Bocking 14 variety: that's why it was developed - it's sterile & won't seed itself everywhere. It stays where you plant it

                  Well I hope mine recovers. The slugs have devastated it on my plot. I left it in pots until I got around to creating a bed for it... Bad move!

                    If it stops raining today I'm off out for another harvest of mine. My first lot of comfrey tea is brewing in plastic bottles in the greenhouse - I understand it needs to be left for 4-5 weeks before it's ready?

                      ^ I use mine after a few days, as soon as the water changes colour. I then top up with more leaves, more water and so on
