    The link to your youtube channel posted above goes to a freecode site in Korea. A google search turned up your channel and went to the correct url – https://www.youtube.com/c/permapasturesfarm21

    It’s interesting that Comfrey grows in lousy soil as Coe’s Comfrey recommends “fertile holes” for planting even though it grows in sand or clay.

    Bocking #4 has the deepest roots, right? I ordered True and Bocking #14 from Ebay and they’ve all up (planted in containers) and my plan is to keep them in the greenhouse over winter (zone 8a) so they’ll get a head start before transplanting into the garden this Spring. I realize they are super hardy but I’m mostly growing Comfrey for fertilizer and I don’t want to lose even one plant. Am I too cautious here?
