Years ago a neighbor gave me some comfrey for my garden and over the years it has multiplied on its own! I keep slashing it down as a weed, but began to wonder if there is some better use for it, and if I might harvest it and sell it to anyone. It would really be smaller scale but thought would ask if this is something to persue. There is really quite a lot of it, and it seems to love our soil and growing conditions. I see that drying it tricky, but I do have indoor facilities to hang and air dry herbs.The main question I have is "what is quite a lot?" A 1/4-acre set is not really very much comfrey, and probably not worth any effort toward harvest and sales. Goats will eat this easily, while cattle will not. The roughage underleaf is not palatable to a cow. It is, however, one of the best foods a cow could eat for total amino acids in the diet.
