Comfrey's deep taproot brings up nutrients from deeper in the soil than most roots reach and adds a nice profile of trace minerals into your compost. Fast growing. Opportunity to chop and drop up to seven times in a growing season. Chopped leaves can also be layered at the base of plants for a light mulch and slow soil building.
