A patch of comfrey would be a great way to start your organic herb garden. It has so many medicinal uses that are easy to make. Comfrey grows prolifically without giving it much attention. It also is a perennial that will grow and spread for many years. So plant comfrey on the outer edges of your garden and give it room to spread.
So follow the transplanting instructions for setting the space in between the plants. Give comfrey the allotted water and mulch then just step back and watch it grow. Don't worry about those gaps in between the plants because they will fill themselves in very rapidly. Harvest season for the roots comes in the fall but the leaves can be used any time. Of course, the older leaves are tough and almost woody but it doesn't matter if you are using them for a poultice or in a salve.
