1️⃣ Comfrey plants have incredibly long roots that mine nourishing soil and bring the nutrients through the root system into the stems and leaves.

3️⃣ Comfrey is one of the best fertilizers you can use for your garden or houseplants, especially for fruits and vegetables.

4️⃣ People often plant comfrey around the bottom of fruit trees and chop the leaves, leaving them on the ground to decompose and feed the tree.

5️⃣ To propagate new comfrey plants, you can dig up an existing plant, chop the thin roots into smaller segments, and plant them in toilet tubes filled with soil.

6️⃣ Toilet tubes are a great planting option because they are free, environmentally friendly, and allow for easy transplantation without disturbing the root system.

7️⃣ Watering comfrey plants in toilet tubes should be done from the bottom to prevent the tubes from caving in and washing away soil.
