Description
Comfrey has a variety of uses including herbal medicine (salves, tinctures, compresses), livestock feed (horses, cows, donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, and pigs all adore it!), and the making of compost and plant feed concentrates. This can be a favorite treat of our chickens and rabbits. Comfrey has historically been used to heal wounds and broken bones. There are various kinds of comfrey available, but only two (Bocking 4 and Bocking 14) that do not produce seed (and thus do not change into a tenacious weed). Be careful about tilling a comfrey bed or plant though. Each little piece of any variety will change into a new plant.
