Symphytum officinale

We're fans of #organic growing. @wychbury_allotments has a great #tip for using #comfrey as a natural fertilizer http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jul/13/alys-fowler-liquid-feed-comfrey - please keep the #tip #tips rolling 😀

Me and the hubby grew our comfrey from seed and have just took it out of greenhouse and planted it at the back of the garden 🙂

They say nettles are a great fertiliser also stuffed in a cloth sack like a huge teabag in your water butt

Thanks for the tip x

Used to have this in a previous garden some years back but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. It is really good in the compost bin and water butt.

Think I have a comfrey plant growing in my muck heap. I'm so excited as iv been trying to purchase this plant for ages. My plant has lovely purple flowers. Looks similar to your plant. Is there different flowers? Anyone know where I may purchase anymore?

Finally got on the bandwagon with growing comfrey as an addition to my fertilising program. I potted the 2 little plants up and they have taken off. Bit longer then will try my first batch. #fertiliser
