FINALLY SOUND… YEAH
much better!
You mentioned another video about this plant. Can you share?
Hi Mark. Does Borage work as well as Comfrey as far as helping tomatoes and other veggies ( except brassicas)? I am using my hairy vetch at present, but after seeing you with your hedge cutter, and as I have Borage seeds, I was thinking of making a switch. I always look forward to your common sense, no none sense, approach to gardening and frequently save them for future reference.
Ootheca is the fancy name for the praying mantis egg case. They are great to see in the garden.
Thank you Mark for another timely and informative video. You are a gifted teacher. I see the link for the list of plants that benefit from mycorhizal root action. Did I misunderstand, I thought you referred to a list of the best companion plants?
Timing looks good, get them transplanted and then a week or so later the first flowers will start to form, giving those bumblebees a new job soon! You stopped the video before you gave that plant a good drink of water!
I've never tried growing comfrey but that might change. Hopefully it will grow here in Arizona.
Besides coir and worm castings, do you add any other fertilizer before it's time to transplant. My starts don't get that big on just the castings
Is that a bed that had leaves or wood-chips on it?
Thanks Mark, great video going to follow your example. Have a great day.
Hi Mark,
It is so funny how you are growing in all these "weeds", and I'm watching all these other "homesteaders" out in the garden beds toiling away weeding their rows. If only they took the time to watch a few of your videos find out which plants work best like COMFREY in building soil. Those homesteaders would have better producing gardens and less work. Thanks for the EDUTAINMENT. Hahahahaha you should have an E/I logo like those Saturday morning shows. And maybe a warning disclaim at the beginning. "If your not careful you may be entertained and informed by this video". Cheers as always,
Bill
Hi Mark, this is very interesting although I do have a question that plays devil's advocate. I in no way intend to offend your methods at any time as i have learned so much from you but this one question popped into mind after watching this video. Please excuse my ignorance if I do not understand, your channel is my learning channel that I very much appreciate.
I understand we are moving away from monoculture agriculture and now going towards organic diversity. My question is, is this not similiar to monoculture, using only one plant to feed another? My small garden has so many weeds that I pull and toss on the surface in hopes they feed the soil as they decompose. The last two years we have switched from hay mulching to low till permanent beds and weeds are plentiful. I'm wondering if letting them grow to a certain point and then cutting them off at the base might be the same as this, but will stay tuned to your channel to find out. Please delete this post if it is offensive, I won't mind:) Thank you for another informative video tho!
Mark, I I am battling weeds in my garden beds. Specifically bind weed which takes over and has a deep taproot and it is perennial. Would you Advise just continue cutting it off the top and letting the root survive? Or would you try and dig out/ kill the root? The problem is that it grows very fast and takes over large areas. I would like to work with nature instead of Fighting it. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,

Hello Mark, thank you very much for another great video, do you have any experience in growing comfrey with other vegetables? I heard there are people growing vegetables on top of a comfrey patch that has been dug out,. I have been reluctant in planting comfrey for his roots but I see he can coexist with any type of plant be it a perennial or an annual, therefore I believe this year I will plant many cuttings….I thank you very much for your contribution
