What a pity that you dug it up
.
Interesting that it's high in potassium! I bought some at a garden club plant sale because the flowers are pretty and I was told that it's great for the composter, speeding up the process! Not that I'm in that much of a hurry, but I planted it in an out-of-the-way place beside my composter and snip off the older leaves as they yellow, and toss them in.
Now I will try making some Comfrey tea for my tomatoes!
I have to add that I thought the original poster was asking about Comfrey tea to drink. It has healing properties when applied to the skin, but it can be toxic when taken internally.
