Russian Comfrey – 10 Live Root Cuttings – Bocking 4 – Comphrey...

Description

Comfrey has quite a lot of uses including herbal medicine (salves, tinctures, compresses), livestock feed (horses, cows, donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits, and pigs all find it irresistible!), 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 several types of comfrey available, but only two (Bocking 4 and Bocking 14) that do not produce seed (and thus do not grow to be a tenacious weed). Be careful about tilling a comfrey bed or plant though. Each little piece of any variety will grow to be a new plant. Bocking 4 >Somewhat more palatable to livestock >Higher leaf protein content >Somewhat lower concentration of medicinal constituents, but higher per-plant root yields result in the production of more constituents per plant. >More vertical, deep root structure >More drought resistant >More Vigorous >Usually the best option, unless shallow soils, shallow water table, or growing in large pots >I expect Usually avoids the feeder roots of trees better than Bocking 14
