Comfrey

[John Liddle]

I had not seen (or at least not noticed) this plant before my afternoon constitutional yesterday (taken partly to test the new R10).

The mounded shape is quite striking and this example is about 30" across.

I believe the leaves, if soaked in a bucket of water until they semi rot down, produce an excellent liquid fertiliser for tomatoes.
