Comfrey - the very useful "weed"

Here is my one remaining comfrey plant, transplanted from our previous house. I love this plant - it is so keen and hearty and seems like the kind of plant that would keep trying to survive even in difficult conditions.

I'm planning to make a "Comfrey Tube" out of three large cola bottles to create liquid feed for the veg patch. Go to the Gardeners World page for 21 April 2006 and view the short video called Homegrown Comfrey Feed. But since I only have one comfrey plant, the good news is that nettles can also be used to create liquid plant feed.
