long time ago, i hired a rotivator to turn over a very large very overgrown garden. not knowing much about gardening at the time, or plants, i churned my way through lotsa big green leafy stuff. later i learned it was comfrey, a wonderful herb. but if you chop up the roots of comfrey and leave even a little bit in the soil it will regenerate and then you have lots more comfrey.

i moved on, but i wonder a lot about how that garden turned out. respect comfrey, i say. it’s a great fertiliser. now i stick with hand tools, and dig the weeds up one at a time.
