Replanting my comfrey plants

Proud Marine Dad

The comfrey was only growing about 16" tall at most so I am digging them up, making a deeper hole for them and amending the soil in the hole with 5 gallons of Diestel turkey compost, and adding a cup of Tomato Tone and alfalfa meal and a 1/2 cup of kelp meal.
I am hoping they grow much larger after this.
 
here is a pic of my plant, it just started to take off in the last 2 weeks or so but i was stealing new sprouts to get a tea ready. the plant faces east and gets early afternoon sun, then is shaded for the rest of the day.
 
i am thinking of freezing some stems and leaves so that i can get a jump on my tea early next season.
 
good luck with the transplant.
 
 
you should have no problems with the transplant, when i first picked mine up from an elderly neighbour who was downsizing, i just left the plants in pails until i could figure out where to put them.
 
also i have a homemade bokashi bucket that i fill with leaves/stems/flower and leave in the sun. forgot i did this last year, so today, i thought i would fill the bucket but first i had to dump any liquid from the pail into my composter. the liquid in the pail was jet black and i thought, oh, must be from sitting over winter, into the composter it went. then i opened the bokashi pail and realized i just threw away liquid gold!!!
 
really have to start writing things down.
 
Yes this is the Bocking cultivar I bought from Coe's Comfrey in NC.
I would never plant native comfrey as its too prolific and will take over the area it's planted in.
