How to Plant Bocking 14 Comfrey Crown Cuttings
Select the Location: Choose a spot with full sun or partial shade. Bocking 14 thrives in well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter.
Prepare the Soil: Work the soil to loosen it and add compost or well-rotted manure to enhance fertility.
Planting Depth: Dig a hole about 3-4 inches deep. Place the crown cutting with the roots pointing down and cover with soil. The crown should be just below the surface.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged until the cutting is established.
Mulch: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Care and Maintenance
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, until the plant is well established. Once mature, Bocking 14 is drought-resistant.
- Feeding: Although Bocking 14 is a heavy feeder, it generally thrives with minimal additional feeding if planted in fertile soil.
- Harvesting: Leaves can be harvested multiple times a year. Regular harvesting encourages fresh growth and prevents flowering, which conserves the plant's energy.
