How much comfrey? As much as you can squeeze in! You’ll use it if you grow potatoes, tomatoes especially and if you want a general plant food then it’s great!

Why is comfrey such a great plant?
It has very long roots that go deep into the ground and bring up nutrients which it stores in it’s leaves. By using the leaves you access the nutrients.

It can be put in any shadey corners too – as it’s happy in sun or semi shade, dappled shade.
