They flourish in rich, moist soil and benefit from mulching. After flowering, when the plant wilts, trim it. Use the leaves or place them around the plant to serve as mulch. In temperate regions, this cycle might repeat 2-5 times during the summer. To eliminate comfrey, either deprive it of water or submerge it completely. Tilling or digging might cause new growth from root fragments. For orchard owners, comfrey, with its mineral-rich leaves, complements fruit trees and is traditionally planted one per tree. Mowing is also an option since comfrey regenerates quickly. Annually add compost and balanced fertilizer for optimum growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bulk orders, please reach out to us!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNon-GMO Commitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e At Growing Farmers and The Farm on Central, all our plants are guaranteed non-GMO and not genetically modified in any way, upholding natural breeding methods and promoting sustainable gardening and farming practices.
