Roots will be around 5" and will vary in diameter They will look similar to the shape and size of the ones in the photo Comfrey is a versatile plant helper in your organic perennial garden. Use it for: Soil Amending (breaks up clay soil and retrieves valuable nutrients from the soil with its deep penetrating roots)Green Manure (make compost tea by soaking leaves in water for 3-7 days and use on your plants as fertilizer). Another method is to grow comfrey as a companion perennial with other nitrogen/potassium loving plants. Fruit trees are one example, and it also assists in strengthening the trees immune system. If you are purchasing new land and unsure on what sort of chemical soup was used, you can plant an entire field of comfrey to begin amending and healing the soil prior to planting food.Animal Feed (pigs, chickens, cows)Beneficial insect attractantBees LOVE comfrey...and more! There is also a lot written on the medicinal qualities of comfrey, but I highly suggest doing your own research on the benefits versus the risks...Topically it can be used for healing wounds and bone rebuilding using it as a poultice or a salve, but some research shows that it's carcinogenic when used topically on or ingested by humans. Planting Care: Create a small comfrey bed or start planting around your fruit trees, about 1-2ft distance from the base of the tree. Dig a hole twice the size as the entire crown or root cutting~place crown cutting with leaves upright,roots down and fill in with soil around base of crown. Make sure to water frequently with new plants. You do not need to add fertilizer. You can even plant it in clay like soils as long as the soil is not contaminated with soil pollutants. Leaves may be cut and harvested several times during spring/summer/fall. PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS. PLEASE DO NOT USE MIRACLE GROW. This would actually shock these plants which have never been exposed to chemicals. Products with synthetic fertilizers weaken the immune system of the plants. Please use only clean soil. Happy Frog soil conditioner and Bigfoot mycorrhizae are 2 products we sometimes use to boost soil health if you must use anything, or if you find something comparable to these products, that will be okay.
