    Hi,

    I've just dug some comfrey out of my garden (and I suspect I'll be digging for a while yet) and have a bucketful of comfrey roots. Let me know if anyone would like some.

    I'm at Jimboomba (between Brisbane and Beaudesert). I'm happy to post if you're not nearby - cost would be about $6.50 - $0.85 for the bag and $5.50 for a parcel up to 500g.

    Jo.

    Comfrey all gone.

    Cathy and Joshua, I've tried to PM you both but the messages are still sitting in my outbox. If you haven't received any messages from me, could you PM me again with an email address, please. I have some comfrey for both of you.

    Jo.

    Sorry too hard to tell.
    What colour are the flowers?
    Does it set seed?

    The Bocking Varieties you could probably only tell if they came already named anyway.

    Re: Comfrey roots to give away

    I have heard that Comfrey should be fed to chooks sparingly.
    I think it caused liver problems, powerful stuff
    I give them a few leaves once a week.
