I am enjoying your video and reading the comments, but am flabbergasted that you’ve only replied to a tiny fraction of the questions - especially where the opportunity exists for you to sell your comfrey cuttings. I hope you are able to remedy this, otherwise, what’s the point of even saying you’re selling comfrey, when in fact you’re NOT.
Can this plant be kept in a pot all time. Because I have no garden
I dug up some Comfrey root, dug a hole where I wanted it, put the root in the hole, filled in the hole, dumped some water on it and forgot it. It is coming up like crazy. It’s a weed.
Thanks but ur store website is not opening. Possible to send it to India ?

How to buy roots
The duck is cute
I took some of mine and filled a plastic barrel and filled it about 65 percent full of leaves and filled the barrel with water covered it and in 2 weeks that water was green and I used it to organically fertilize my garden and when I used it all I dried what was left of the leaves and used for composting
Can you make comfrey tea to drink? Since it's full of nutrients?
Where can I find your site to purchase these roots?
the link to your store is not working - got a 404 error.
Sorry I wrote the message very early in video.
I have one comfrey plant. No idea what kind. Beautiful purple ish blooms. Are all sterile?
What can we rotate with after carrots had this problem?
Do you still sell comfrey roots?
Hello! I will be selling comfrey roots again but I am not at this time because we just moved last fall. I brought cutting with me but I need to let them get some size first. Thank you for your interest.
This gives me so many ideas....I am adding more pages for my journal to incorporate them! Thank you!
I'm so glad that you find the planner helpful! If you ever have any questions please feel free to ask. Blessings!
Do they need full sun
Hello Cathy! Comfrey needs full sun to part shade and in super hot climates afternoon shade is preferable. Thanks for watching!
Hi great video I’m a newbie so I look forwarding to catching up on your videos. Peace and blessings to you.
When taking root cuttings, what is your preferred way of shipping them? Damp peat moss? What should I store my comfrey cuttings in over winter?
Thanks a lot! Really a problem for me. Will try next spring.
Why haven't you brought up any of them medicinal qualities have Comfrey?? I just learned about this plant and bought some root cuttings from Etsy!! It's a miracle cure for bruises and breaks and aches and pains and arthritis! I'm going to make make salves & poultices. It's tap Root goes deep into the ground as you mentioned, to bring up vitamins and minerals that are found really in no other plant leaf. You didn't mention that it's also something you can make fertilizer out of for the rest of your garden! I'm going to make comfrey tea in a bucket and use that as a fertilizer that's immediately available to my plants. You really should mention something other than it having pretty little purple flowers. LOL 😆 I did learn what I needed to know about how quickly I could expect some growth. Thanks for that!
Yahoo for you, karen
Diatomaceous earth was not preventing these buggars from my seedlings, need to do this method in addition to DE!
Great information, Jaci! Can’t wait to read your book :)
Thank you Valentina! Your book is on the way! :)
Where are you in ND? I am in NE Montana and would like some local grown comfrey
Are you using loam? I am interested in some of your root cuttings! Thx
I'm planting them in a mix of potting soil and compost. Super simple! If you are still looking, our root cutting will be available at the end of the month. You can find them at: www.myrollinghillsfarm.com/store/p35/Bocking_14_comfrey.html Thanks for watching!
@@rollinghillsfarmnd6368 Thank You for getting back to me! I will check it out at the end of the month!
@@rollinghillsfarmnd6368 Is the comfrey ready for purchase?
I just checked your website, looks like you are SOLD OUT...wow, great for you and boo for me...LOL. Thanks for awesome video. Very educational.
Mandie, Thank you for checking our website out. We will have comfrey available at the end of May into the summer. It is just doesn't warm up here in ND to offer it any sooner than that. Check back at the end of May. I will be happy to help you get some of your own comfrey, it is such a great perennial! I'm going to update that listing because I have had several people confused by it. Thank again!
We bought 60 acres of land about 4 months ago and found NO comfrey, so disappointing. Maybe they don't grow in the wild and has to be planted but we have lots of other edible/medicinal weeds. So my questions is, if I want tons of comfreys growing in my land for many type of uses including permaculture use, would it makes sense to plant the kind that spread from seeds and not do the Bocking 14 kind?...as long as they both have the same benefit of uses, then I would prefer the kind that spread itself...less work for me...hehe.
If it was me I would still use bocking 14 because even when we think we want an abundance of something there is a point when it is too much and I have heard bad stories about comfrey spreading from seed and taking over. The bocking 14 is really easy to propagate so although it does take some effort on your part, it really is only planting some root chunks. They will grow from very small pieces too. You can have an abundance in no time. :)
Love that you have 60: acres! We will nay have 10.

diatanious earth is the take away.
Spot on! Diatomaceous earth is a must have for gardening. I use it for some many things! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Do you plant comfrey in full sun or part shade?
So glad you like the video! To answer your question, comfrey likes the sun but it will do just fine with a little shade. It's such an easy to grow plant and so good for your garden and the wildlife! If you need any cuttings we will have some this spring. Thanks for watching!
