Grase, the COmfrey will heal wounds but only at the top, skin level, but below it, it won't heal so be careful. To the earlier message, yes do that, put a bottomless container and plant the Comfrey, it will discourage it from spreading.

I live in Malaysia, last year my sister sent me some Comfrey roots from Canada. I babied them and now I have beautiful clumps of Comfrey all over the garden. I must say they really do well here where its hot and humid. I allow the seeds to fall where is as is. There are many uses for the leaves aside from fetiliser, you can use the leaves to heal broken bones or make a tea to drink. Some people eat the young leaves now and then though many "experts" say the leaves can cause liver failure. I would encourage those who  have not planted them yet, to do so quickly. You won't regret it. Plant them in small planter boxes so they need not be an invasive plant.

I too use Mycorrhizae on the existing roots when I am repotting or transplanting. I don't know how anyone can use it successfully on cuttings, will be interesting to see your results though. All the best

Nate the law says branches growing over the fence is yours for the taking. You did not climb over the fence did you? So you will e fine, stop feeling guilty. LOng ago, I picked some plums from a branch hanging over  a neighbour's fence, they were very sweet. I made a few trips commando style till I learnt it was their property anymore since the branch was on our side of the fence. Lol

How about round stones? Broken terracotta pots sounds like a good idea too.

Hi, I am very new at growing Figtrees but the bug has gotten hold of me. Anyone out there can help me add to my collection? I live in Malaysia hot and sunny with good rainfall. Humid too.
