Healthy soil and sustainable growing

<<Here's a lot of info on comfrey. Anyone growing it for animal feed?>>

I am growing it for my goats and chickens.  I just planted 6 roots last 
Fall.  Three of the plants are already about 2 feet tall, and 3 other's are 
just barely poking out of the ground.  I'm thinking maybe I planted those 3 
late bloomers upside down or something.  I had a very hard time telling 
which way was up!

The article was very informative.  I knew comfrey was a good compost 
activator, but not a good mulch/fertilizer tea.  I'm also very glad to see 
it adds potash.  My garden is a bit lacking in potash.  I usually add all of 
the wood fireplace ashes I can get and that helps some.

Thanks for the info,
