William, you're right, shipping is expensive. Since I've ordered trees from Martin, I just threw in comfrey with the order.
I've tried sowing comfrey from seed and it didn't work out, do they need stratifying?
I live in a very backwards part of Spain, we're the guys who produced Franco. Old ladies here feed their sheep and chickens and pigs the store-bought "McDonalds" feed and think their livestock is as good as organic because its "homemade."
The main "permaculture guy" in the area gave me some dwarf comfrey and another guy was selling normal medicinal comfrey, but only as a potted plant. Haven't met anyone with Bocking 14. Anyway, comfrey from root cutting is so easy, I'd rather do that than plant it from seed.
