Came across this plant while taking plant propagation class.

Conflicting stories as I've been told they have used it to make tea... butsome says it's toxic. Oh well anyways I'll provide a link for ya'll to know more about it..

I know this much. If you compost and or make organic Compost tea. This is a plant for you

Sounds like a great plant. Do you recommend any vendors?

I don't see much. It's on ebay. Lol. But cost an arm and a leg. Will do some test runs sending them out and will let you know how it goes when I Send it out. Just PM me. MODS this is not intended for sales pitch. But to educate.

If any. I saw horizon herbs out of Oregon. Not sure the cost

I have thirteen Comfrey plants and it's one of the highest plants in nitrogen known to man. I bought mine from Coe's Comfrey in NC. He sells the Bocking #4 species which is a great all around cultivar. Regular Comfrey is too invasive.

The alkaloids in comfrey are toxic for human consumption (although people still eat it), but it can be safely used in compost and teas as far as I know. I also bought comfrey from Coes. He sells the Bocking #4 variety. I have read that Bocking #14 is supposed to have a higher concentration of nutes, but whichever is easier to get IMHO. Coes has very good pricing, although he is a very odd man lol.

Sounds like a great plant. Do you recommend any vendors?

 
Horizon Herbs is where most people will point you to if you ask for Bocking #14. Coes and some others sell Bocking #4. Neither variety will produce viable seed and an only be propagated through root cuttings.
