I killed my B14 comfrey last year. It got stuffed into an out of the way corner of my yard and completely dried out, then over the winter, in trying to rehydrate it, I ended up with a gooey mess. Anyone got any deals going on to get me some more root cuttings?

I'll explain my prolonged absence and my path forward in another post!

It's good to be back...

Just go look on etsy.  

Is it dead though?  I would keep watering your location as that plant is nearly indestructible.

One other thing learned when it starts to put up the flower stalk if you can harvest it and simply plant it, to root it.  Strip most of leaves and plant deep and keep wet.  It lets you make more plants faster.  That way you can do both plant cuttings and root cuttings in any given year doubling your production of new plants.

It’s dead, I killed it. It’s waterlogged all the way through and gooey.

I have Bocking #4 if you want some.  I'll sell you all you want for $1 a root + shipping.  If you want a lot, we can work out a bulk discount.
