North Georgia mystery plant

[MissB]

6. There are at least two types of comfrey.

I have Bocking 14 I think. It's sterile- the plant will flower but not spread. It'll get bigger and I can easily divide it and put it in a new area if needed.

I use it for composting purposes. One it gets pretty tall, I generally cut it back pretty hard. I can do that several times a summer. I put the leaves directly on a garden bed, not even cutting them up (leave them whole) if pressed for time. It breaks down quickly and in the meantime it helps keep moisture in the bed.

The roots go impressively deep. It supposedly mines minerals from deep and draws them up. Not sure of that but it's pretty awesome as a source of a quickly composting layer.
