Comfrey Rust.

[bluemoon]

I think my comfrey has rust. Is there anything I can do about it? Preferably organically. I bought a little leaflet from the Organic Gardening Catalogue ("Comfrey for Gardeners") and I'm sure it mentioned this as being just about the only disease comfrey suffers from, but I can't remember what it said to do and I can't find the leaflet.

Rust is a fungal disease spread by spores from the orange spots on the leaves, so you have to cut off the affected leaves and burn them or put them in the council bin.
