My actual plan was to expand the mulched area around my peach and apple trees. I was told to plant at or beyond the drip line . Wouldn't this put the comfrey outside of the root zone ?
I would be happy just growing it, green manure for compost and as mulch , Blocking 14 doesnt produce viable seed so not invasive as the common type ....
