Comfrey really is an incredible plant. It has deep roots which bring minerals to the surface, particularly potassium which all fruit need to ripen. If you transplant a comfrey plant, you’ll leave some roots behind so it’ll almost certainly regrow. We replant comfrey around all our fruit trees and we feed our tomatoes with comfrey tea (comfrey leaves fermented for 1-2 weeks in a water-filled rubbish bin). Comfrey – a bit like raspberries – you can never have enough of it!
