I was told long ago that comfrey will get the powdery mildew and help exhaust it from the soil, and that it's fine to still chop and drop the comfrey even when it has mildew on the leaves. But now I am not sure I should be putting those spores back down on the garden. Suggestions? (Is my comfrey making my garden inhospitable for other food plants?)

I joined for the same question. I have tons of comfrey with powder mildew on it, with the past advice that comfrey helps "burn out" or use up the mildew. But a year or two later, there is still a lot of mildew, and I begin to worry about chop and dropping the mildewy leaves. Some sources say it's no problem for the fruit being mulched by the comfrey, but I have it below a young peach that had leaf curl. Wondering if it's bringing the mildew back into the soil and should be removed instead.
