Benefits and Uses
Comfrey is a plant with multiple uses. As a medicinal plant, it has been known since Antiquity for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Its roots and leaves contain Allantoin, a compound that promotes cell regeneration.
In gardening, comfrey is a valuable asset. Its deep roots decompact the soil and its nutrient-rich leaves can be used to prepare manure, an excellent natural fertilizer for plants. It is also an ideal companion plant to attract pollinators and improve soil fertility.
Growing Comfrey
Comfrey prefers moist, organic-rich soil, but it can tolerate a variety of soil conditions. It thrives in partial shade or full sun and is relatively easy to maintain. Once established, it is robust and can spread quickly.
