Comfrey is my all time favorite plant. I live in southern Australia and had common comfrey (Symphytum officinale) for years as it was all that was available.
I finally have Russian comfrey aka bocking 14 (Symphytum Uplandica) and now i have Russian comfrey all through my backyard. I love it. I heard that if you put a comfrey leaf under each potato you plant it will do better because comfrey provides lots of phosphorus and potassium.

Comfrey is one of my all time favourite plants. I have both common comfrey and the larger Russian comfrey. I find the best way to grow it for me has been I dig up a clump, cut the roots up into 1-2" lengths and bury the root segments next to things like my tomatoes when i plant them in spring. They get the right amount of water, shade and protection. Just stick them in and forget. Once the end of the season has passed and It's time to pull our the veggies the Comfrey is well established.
