Bocking 14 Cultivar
At Marsh Creek Farmstead we are growing the Bocking 14 variety of Russian Comfrey. This sterile variety of comfrey grows very well in our USDA zone 9 Mediterranean climate. Comfrey has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal herb as well as a fertility builder for the land. Choose the quantity you want to order below.

- Non-invasive Bocking-14 form of comfrey, which will not produce viable seed.
- Bocking-14 comfrey is the most desirable cultivar for making a tea to fertilize your garden with an NPK ratio 1.8 / 0.5 /5.3. Comfrey is a dynamic accumulator of nutrients, most notably iron, silicon, nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium and many trace minerals.
- Save money on animal feed! Comfrey is used worldwide as an animal fodder. Dried comfrey leaves contain 26% protein. Although some animals enjoy comfrey fresh, if you find your animals do not like fresh comfrey, offer them comfrey which has wilted for a day or dried completely. The little silicon "hairs" on the leaves sometimes bother animals, though the problem is solved by allowing the leaves to wilt first. Comfrey is the only plant which harvests vitamin B-12 from the soil!
- Use comfrey leaves to turbo-charge your compost pile, especially piles made predominately made from carbon heavy "browns" like dry leaves, straw, brush, wood chips or shavings, etc.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING...
Nicholas Ferguson => I really liked the cuttings and crowns I got from Marsh Creek. Best, healthiest, and quickest to establish of any of the providers I've ordered from
Blake Bratten=> Marsh Creek Farmstead was great for me!
Timless Ranch=> The bocking 14 comfrey we recently received from our friends at Marsh Creek Farmstead is doing great! We planted around 90 root cuttings in our food forest... this is just what we held back. Couldn't be happier!
Small Time Homestead=> I got my comfrey crowns in the mail yesterday from Marsh Creek Farmstead and got them planted. If you don't have comfrey on your homestead it is something you should consider growing, many benefits.
