growing comfrey from seed

[paul wheaton]

Apparently, this is "true" comfrey, NOT "russican comfrey".

In permaculture, this is often planted under fruit trees because it helps the fruit trees.

Comfrey is sometimes called "knit bone" because of how effective it is for mending bones.

Apparently the FDA is coming down on comfrey because it has dangerous alkaloids in it. It has about 1/100th the dangerous alkaloids that beer has.

Paul, just wanted to say thanks for posting your videos.  I always watch them even if I don't always comment, and they're all very interesting.

Thanks!

And thanks to Don for being cool about me posting this stuff here.

I've looked for comfrey seeds/plants but haven't had any success - at least now I'll know which is the right type to get if I find it.  Thanks.  Always enjoy your videos!

[glenn kangiser]

Do you know of a seed supplier for the proper type, Paul?

I've been trying to get the fella in the video to say he would sell them, but his only response so far didn't make any sense.
