If you’ve read about how comfrey can boost your chickens’ health and egg production, you’re probably wondering —
👉 “How do I grow this amazing plant myself?”

Good news: Comfrey is one of the easiest crops you’ll ever plant. Yes, I have proven it!

Once established, it grows back after every harvest and keeps producing for 10 years or more!

Here’s how to get started:

🌱 1. Get comfrey Root Cuttings or Seedlings or seeds

Comfrey rarely grows well from seed.

In my previous experiments, I lost quite some seeds. So beware!

The best way is to plant root cuttings or splits from an existing comfrey plant.
Each root cutting can multiply quickly and spread within months.

The next best way to plant is to get established seedlings and transplant.

🪴 2. Choose a Moist, Sunny Spot or anywhere you have space.

Comfrey loves well-drained, fertile soil but can survive even in poor soil.
It grows fastest in areas that get good sunlight and occasional watering.

🌾 3. Planting/Transplanting

Dig a small hole about 2–3 inches deep.

Place your root cutting or seedling inside, root down, and cover lightly with soil.

Space plants about 2–3 feet apart — they grow big!

💧 4. Water Regularly (At the Start)

Keep the soil moist during the first few weeks so the plant can establish strong roots.
After that, comfrey can survive long dry periods — it’s very hardy.

✂️ 5. Harvesting

Start harvesting after 2–3 months when the leaves are large and healthy.
Cut the leaves close to the base — they’ll regrow fast.
You can feed them fresh to your chickens or dry them to mix into feed later.

🐔 6. Multiply & Share

Each mature comfrey plant can give you dozens of root cuttings for replanting or selling.
That means once you start, you’ll never need to buy again.

💡 Bonus Tip:
Mix comfrey leaves with other greens like waterleaf, amaranth, or moringa to create a balanced natural feed that boosts poultry growth and egg quality.

Farmers, this is a good time to plant comfrey. If you need seeds/seedlings, please let me know.

This plant causes tumor in human beings and animals! Human beings used to eat it. Do you wonder why it is no longer eaten?
Please don't ask people to feed animal that will be eaten this plant!

You can carry out research to confirm or disprove my claim!
