Be careful Alee..It is very invasive. I planted mine in the ground inside a big pot & it still spread qute a bit.
But you are right. It is a wonderful plant for so much!

Alee,

I use Comfrey root powder in my Lavender and Sweetgrass soap.

It grows like crazy up here...

Good to know, Lisa- Maybe I will plant it in the alley where nothing but weeds grow anyway, or perhaps I will plant it in clay containers under ground to help contain the roots.

Agree Lisa... do be careful. I LOVE comfrey and use it for many things. But once it gets loose... watch out! The roots grow deep and escape easily. =)

Do what you love, love what you do.

What kinds of things do you do with Comfrey?
