Making Your Own Compost 3

On a rather windy day, we take a look at the comfrey growing on the allotment.

We will be using this to tempt the slugs away from the veg, but also as an important constituent of the composting process.

It’s a coarse Eurasian plant belonging to the genus Symphytum – part of the borage family. It has large hairy, lance-shaped leaves and drooping clusters of small, white, rose-coloured, or purplish flowers.
