Good source for comfrey?

I've seen comfrey mentioned numerous times when researching no-till growing, but never anywhere to actually source the plants or even just the leaves themselves.

Would anyone be so kind as to point me in the right direction for where to grab some comfrey plants? Any advice for taking care of them? I hear they can be quite invasive after a while and start to really take over, but I live in the middle of the desert so I just want to be sure I don't muck things up.

I'll keep lurking around on google, but I was hoping I'd get some good advice from some of you guys.

Thanks :)
I can send you some seeds mate

Oh no shit? I really appreciate the offer but I'd hate to make you go through the trouble. I'm still not really set up for it because I don't really have any good soil to use outdoors, seeing as I'm in the desert I'm thinking they'd die for sure without good soil but I could be wrong? I could paypal you the cost of postage or something like that? :)

Being in the dessert I guess it depends on the type of sand a lot! You could work in some good amounts aloe compost and DE Rocks into your mix, as well as DE top dress, and each watering would add Si and bring the cooling benefits it has to offer.. innoculate with AMF for sure, that is, myco fungi, as to increase root mass by up to 1000x and therefor unicellular water reach, and dont skip the biochar and I bet you would be surprised, especially if running something that likes heat.. like the Pink Gravies!

As for the seeds, if you don't mind covering postage then I can toss in some heirloom F&V freebies, as well.. no prob at all! Spread love and pay it forward :D

4 pink gravy moms courtesy of our brah from jah earth, or dads no sign right now
Front right is the male, rest are female homie!! Just kidding bro, but damn, on the real, looking lovely. All 4 seem to be the George pheno though, hey, holy crap! I wonder why I get so many sativa pheno's and why they're being shy so far this summer for people.. I guess everyone wanted the pink trichomes so thats the pheno to do it the most.. ahaha
 
I have the mains tied down to bush them quickly for cuts as i may have to put into flower for a bit for gender.
What does the george cut express?

3 ctf in for sexing after cuts, check out the first one up close it has a white wash stain as a trait not deficient, also have two more but those and the grease were left sitting in the neem garlic concoction after being sprayed. The never ending whoops that happen in our awesome hobby hahaha, needless to say they are on an IV being nursed back to life.Be couple weeks or so before they are back in the game, the burn on the other is a little dose of the bug spray at the bottom of pot

Here's this thread again, ah sorry guys. Ok so yeah the George expresses this anthocyanin really easily, its not from deficiency cause it actually does it best after reammends not when needing an amend.. its a type of antioxidant with a lot of benefits.

look at the length of the trich at the top right of the page. I swear, almost over powering chest expansion, every time, I just love it man.. cant wander from it once you experience it on this level. The type that if you hit on a bong you are good, you need to catch your breath after for sure.

Yeah that fresh garlic can make you wanna leave the room in a hurry hey aha
I think you will really like the DE rocks once we get you some. They don't call em happy rocks for nothin haha. cuts the pest regime down big time.

Looks like some nice giant 9 leaflet leaves though, hey, especially that second one.

Any crazy strong smells being produced from stem rubs?? Tell me you got a nice stinky fem there. Almost like to sex CTF before trimming them, I even had a female go on me that was in flower, I think I defoliated her too aggressively, too late. Natural is prob the way to go, prob shouldn't trim at all, but I too am aggressive and like to learn the limits.
Twas that or the light stress tests I was conducting were really mean to her. Like who just throws random 15 hour days at plants that are mid flower, I'm really cruel but I like to know what would happen if ppl did the same by accident. The good thing is you can cut and cut and cut the PG's and they will never bark back or complain. :blsmoke: Jedi-like seeds, you cut them they just get stronger and adapt.

Looking forward to more updates, good luck doctoring them up! Reindeers Naturals sells 1.5kg bags of DE Rocks you can get 2 delivered for $30 something. You wont regret spreading a bit on the top of each pot, really clean, really effective, multiple benefits. Keep killing it, bro
