Скачать или смотреть COMFREY Soil Healing & Food Forest Harmony How we use it ! -

Discover how Comfrey(Symphytum) plays a vital role in permaculture food forests. We explore Comfrey uses including its taproot’s that pull potassium, Calcium and magnesium from the subsoil. How It’s broad leaves decay rapidly and enrich the soil. Comfrey creates a depth, resonance and structure beneath our fruit bushes and trees. We use Comfrey at different times and in different ways across our food forest learn how it brings harmony to our forest.
We discuss ;
The types of comfrey and the ones we have
We cover Comfrey as a dynamic accumulator
Using Comfrey for Mulch and soil regeneration as well as a less smelly fertilizer.
We discuss healing properties it has but warnings that go with it.
Ecological relationships with the forest as a whole.
Both Symphony and Symphytum are connected in an idea of coalescence introduced by the botanical names given we explore this :
Comfrey part of a food forest orchestra, each plant plays a roll in a constantly evolving never ending composition- Plants are not just individual resources but participants in a communal narrative. Comfrey doesn’t just do something it belongs, contributes and if you like composes.

*Remember to always use plants with care and take precautions: wear gloves if required, don’t eat unless you are sure of identification and take care of the plants of course!


Join us in;

A 20 year experiment to see if they could grow a food forest #garden in the harsh conditions of North Scotland. After being told we couldn't grow trees in the far north of Scotland Graham (Singer songwriter & Children’s author) and Rebecca (Wildlife artist) we decided to grow trees and build a more self sufficient system in Caithness with our children. Now surrounded by trees, fruit bushes, fruit trees, meadowsweet etc.
“We have built our forest in a windswept, boggy area with salt air and long dark winters. But not just trees but food within it to help us live within a sustainable ecology that benefits plants animals and us.”
Trees though are much more than I thought they not only giving mental and physical health they have welcoming non judgemental feel that sometimes seems almost personal, characterful..do they have intelligence beyond what we think. Years spent building this small foodforest have led me to think perhaps, yes!

Graham also formerly a professional gardener having designed and looked after several large country estates suffers from CRPS following an injury 2 years ago and some of his time will be taken creating awareness of the condition.
