I ordered 12 slips and 3 crowns of Russian Comfrey – Bocking 14 from Marsh Creek Farmstead.  They arrived today so I put them in the ground.  I placed the crowns in my raised beds, and the slips in between my new fruit trees.  The bocking 14 variety doesn’t go to seed so it doesn’t spread and take over like the normal variety does.  This plant is known as a mineral miner: the roots go very deep in the soil and the leaves are packed with lots of nutrients.  It is a good plant to use for composting material, as those valuable nutrients will be in the compost.
