Comfrey Bocking #4 in the UK

Having failed to find anyone in the UK selling Bocking #4, and being keen to try it on my chickens (they say that chickens think #4 is yummy, but #14 is yukky), I am currently talking to FERA to see what I need to do to import some cuttings.

If the #4 grows as well as my #14, I will begin selling plants in the UK, if anyone is interested.

Perhaps you just need to ask Garden Organic in Coventry? They were previously called Henry Doubleday Research Association and were founded by Lawrence D Hills who cultivated all the bocking comfreys.

Hi All.

Cheers

I've found someone supplying comfrey bocking 4 here in the uk, he's based in wales and has a nice ebay name.

Does anyone have bocking4.I need at least 1 root.

Hi lister, I was just on the edible canopy site (formerly Agroforestry research site now with new owners) and they list bocking 4 Not a bad price for a plant either - just £6 plus delivery.

Good shout Nancy. Worth grabbing a couple of roots to start, comfrey spreads so quickly that one root turns into plenty within a season or two.
