Havesting and drying comfrey leaf....for infusion into MCT oil.
Hello @dtube!!!!! We are out in the food forest today...harvesting confrey to dry on our drying racks. We infuse the confrey with mct oil....then use the comfrey oil to make topical balms and salves. Allantoin and minerals in the comfrey are such bad asses for skin! Especially when mixed with other herbal goodies. This video shows a how we harvest and then dry our comfrey. We grow the comfrey all around our freuit trees as they are dynamic nutrient accumulators and mine deeply into the soil for minerals. If I could choose ONE...plant to begin a food forest..it would be this one. The Russian Bocking variety! :)
Cheers to our food freedoms Dtube and Steem blockchain! D-FOOD!!!!

Comfrey is the MOTHER of all herbs, ABSOLUTELY. I can never quite understand gardeners who DON'T use it. My Nana used to make a skin salve from it... with lard, eek, in the way old crew used to, but I love this fact as it was they they had all these wonderful plant remedies we are rediscovering or holding onto.

hey riverflows.....thank you so much for stopping by this post...and leaving some beautiful words. I love that your nana used lard too....oh my goodness! the old crew indeed. we remember you....old crew!!!!!!!!! i think i'll use some lard...or beef tallow in my next batch! :)
I grow the Russian but have tried with limited success to grow the variety which does grow from seed, Strictly Medicinal sells both the seed or the Russian with is so easy!
yesssss.....@kk8cookie ! I absolutely LOVE....Strictly Medicinal Seeds!!!!!! thank you!!! I scoop most of my peculiar seeds from them....like tobacco. Not sure if they sell root cuttings....but they are wildly available. https://www.edibleacres.org/purchase/comfrey-bocking-14

ps----- if you two know how to edit a dtube video after it's posted....can you please enlighten me. i've looked for dtube videos...explaining what i'm seeing....and i can't find a solution. I have multiple spelling errors..in this post...like in the title. "havesting"...instead of harvesting. when i go to edit...in dtube...or on steemit....i get the same error. "must start with a letter"....and can't update the post at all after editing. hmmmm? thanks for any help you can provide. i appreciate ya'll so dang much! just want to step my game up.
we are so happy to support you! you guys deserve it every time!!! i have been waiting & checking for dtube to take some notice and i'm happy they finally did! i've noticed the more we post to dtube and the more regularly we do so the more upvotes we get! so here's more encouragement to keep it up :)
as far as the error- i'm not sure why you would be getting that. because so many people read the posts from the front end of steemit/steempeak/partiko/busy and then click to watch the video, i only worry about editing my errors within those front ends.
so i have edited let's say steemit/steempeak for errors in the title or text and usually i have no problem with it!
sometimes i have to log out and then log back in. edited within steemit post haste should work! let me know if after logging out and then back in if it works for ya! not sure why you'd get that error--- also are you on dtube's discord? there is a #help section! <3
you truly humble me...you truly do! thanks so much for your response...it means a lot! i will try everything you suggested...including dtube's discord. :)) i'll totally keep it up!!!! you too please!!!! just uploaded today's video...and mentioned ya'll at the end. YOU INSPIRE ME...beyond ALL MEASURE!
