Pascal, when you plant your Comfrey, put some manure into each planting hole. I used 3-4 horse nuggets per hole and the Comfrey came up with a vengeance! At 2' spacing, it forms a nice border along walkways. You can prune it back during the growing season and use the leaves as a mulch around garden plants and flowers. Comfrey is tough. You can even use chicken manure around it and it won't burn it.

Ulla, thank you for posting. I learned a lot!

Play the party music; turnip the beet.
Tim... that was priceless! Gotta love a good pun

My I phone is soo old, it's actually an H

Nuthin worse than droopy drawers...For those of us with a baby bump (a.k.a. beer cooler) I dearly love my grandpa looking suspenders. They go easy on the umbilical hernia;...Haven't mooned anyone in years.

Kelly Craig, if I might quote you, "I could add pages for this topic, in spite of the fact I am at the bottom of the expert chain."...I would say you know your stuff VERY well! You might not have an 'Expert' certificate in a frame but, IMO, you know your stuff! Thank you for your contribution.

sorry...forgot the link

here is my EDC pocket knife. I especially love the sheep foot blade for removing splinters! This knife comes razor sharp from the factory. Good ole German steel takes and holds an edge very well. I even use it for doing some wood carving.

Gray Henon, if you're wanting bird fertilizer, might I suggest ducks...Aside from pet rabbits, I can't think of any critter who has a higher food to poop ratio than ducks. My daughters had a couple ducks when they were little and it seemed to me that eating and making fertilizer was more than a passing fancy. They were hard core poopin machines! (my yard is still greener  where they were kept over 30 year ago)

Brian, have you considered Osage Orange trees? They coppice well, grow pretty fast and burn super hot & long! I've had a single log burn 14 hours in an airtight wood stove...It pops and sparks quite a bit and it has thorns that can be quite contrary. Can't beat the BTU's
