The large, fleshy roots of the comfrey also penetrate to a considerable depth and add humus to the subsoil, where it is usually wanting.— (United States Department of Agriculture, Circulars of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Nos. 41 to 70, inclusive, 1909-1910, page 9. United States Government Printiong Office, 1911.)
Another alternative is to grow a fertility patch of comfrey and legume outside the forest garden, and cut it for compost or mulch.— (Patrick Whitefield, How to Make a Forest Garden, page 49. Permanent Publications, 1996 (édition révisée en 2002).)
Applied externally, comfrey acts as an anti-inflammatory to promote healing of bruises, sprains, and open wounds.— (Peggy S. Stanfield et Y.H. Hui, Nutrition and Diet Therapy: Self-instructional Modules, Module 11 (« Dietary Supplements »), page 195. American Dietetic Association / Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2003.)
Consider long where you put comfrey, because it’s not only large but made quite permanent by a taproot that can burrow as deep as 6 feet.— (Karan Davis Cutler, Kathleen Fisher, Suzanne DeJohn et National Gardening Association, Herb Gardening for Dummies, page 279. Wiley Publishing, 2011.)
