How deep do comfrey roots grow? I needed to find out. I excavated several down to their fine roots and thought I would share the documentation. The trowel measures 8 inches on the blade.

That looks like a lot of work digging all the way down! Very interesting too. Thank you.

I had an excavator for the job, actually. But yes, it did move a lot of soil to get the job done. Glad you found it of interest Anni.

And every bit of broken root will be a new plant – so be warned!

Oh I am well aware of it! The owner of the property not so much. They thought it would all go back to mowed lawn afterward! There may be several subsequent diggings as a result.

I’m hoping it won’t take too much. I’ve found it to be rather too much of good thing where it was planted too close to my fruiting bushes.
