I've got the Bocking variant of comfrey in my allotment so I thought my plot would be safe from the plants invasive qualities, as it is self sterile!
NOT SO!!!!!!!!!!
It IS self sterile but still manages to propogate itself in gay abandon from small root cuttings.
I shifted it from the area I had it last year to a derelict area next to my compost bins! Theory being, that I could take half a dozen harvests each year and if i didn't need it for tea, i could just lob it into the compost bins. This part has worked well.
What I didn't plan for was the regrowth in the original area as well.
Just spent an afternoon pulling as much out as I could get and mulching my tatties with it.
The bladdy stuff will probably sprout up in the tattie beds next!
