I’m planting 203 comfrey plants in December — and yes, I know that sounds a little wild 😅
In this video, I’m walking you through **why I’m planting comfrey so late in the season, the real risks of comfrey, and how I’m using it strategically as part of a regenerative, biologically active garden system.
We’ll talk about comfrey as a dynamic accumulator, where (and where not) to plant it, the difference between roots and crowns, how I prepare a root soak solution, and exactly how I’m planting each one. I’ll also show how I use comfrey to make FPJ and JLF, turning this plant into a long-term soil-building powerhouse.
If you’re interested in permaculture, Korean Natural Farming, or building fertility without buying inputs, this one’s for you.
