Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Shaye, I would've loved coming for dinner, it's only 45 mins from my house but I can't, don't have anyone to take care of the goats and milk momma goat. BOO HOO! But I 'll see ya Saturday, Can't wait! It's ok about the herbs, I just want to cram as much as my little old brain can handle.

I am sure that others on this list are Herb Savvy too. Not sure if will be there on Friday nite though. A few years ago we did have talk about wild herbs but certainly it can be another future demo thing. Or if there is some downtime during the gathering you could ask some questions.. Of course, it can ALWAYS be a discussion on the list 24/7. Shaye Re: Comfrey That would be real nice, maybe we can have a little chat on different herbs?Shaye, what do you think?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I would definitely dig out the comfrey roots. The roots are the best part. Medieval monks would grind up the dried roots and make a poltice to put on fractures. That's why they call it " boneset.

Long time no post. I'm transplanting my Comfrey as it's gotten so big that it is not allowing a shrub/bush (forget what it is lol) to grow and last year covered it so much that it grew very lopsided.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hi Terri, Comfrey has a deep taproot, so you're sure to get it all coming back again, even if you dig out all the roots. My guess is that you're going to have to dig out as much as possible, but you'll have to keep at it forever. Maybe Roundup would do it, I'm not sure. For future reference, comfrey should be planted out there somewhere so it can do its thing. It's next to impossible to kill!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thanks Beth... It's transplanted to the side of our shed where there's nothing to get in it's way. The roots are pretty spread out, but we have such horrid soil here that they haven't been able to go too deep so getting the remaining roots won't be too bad.... just lots of on the knees digging :/ Terri > > Hi Terri, > > Comfrey has a deep taproot, so you're sure to get it all coming back again, even if you dig out all the roots.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Sorry guys Herbalist hat on now. But it is why I went to school. Comfrey and Boneset are two different herbs. Comfrey is Symphytum officinale, Comfrey root should not be used internally. -Demulcent, mildly astringent and expectorant. As the plant abounds in mucilage, it is frequently given whenever a mucilaginous medicine is required and has been used like Marshmallow for intestinal troubles. It is very similar in its emollient action to Marshmallow, but in many cases is even preferred to it and is an ingredient in a large number of herbal preparations. It forms a gentle remedy in cases of diarrhoea and dysentery. A decoction is made by boiling 1/2 to 1 OZ. of crushed root in 1 quart of water or milk, which is taken in wineglassful doses, frequently. Boneset is Eupatorium perfoliatum, It is regarded as a mild tonic in moderate doses, and is also diaphoretic, more especially when taken as a warm infusion, in which form it is used in attacks of muscular rheumatism and general cold. In large doses it is emetic and purgative. I just did a cut and paste from Mrs Greives. It was quicker.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 " alletoin " is how i think its spelled. i get powdered alletoin from suppliers and put it in my hand and feet products, (lotion cuticle cream ointments and even lip balms. WORKS AWSOME. heels my dry cracked peeling skin super fast but only use it at less then 2% or else it is a drug and needs to be labeled and tested as such. I started using it evenbefore i knew it was a natural substance and that it came from the comfrey plant > > I would definitely dig out the comfrey roots. The roots are the best part. Medieval monks would grind up the dried roots and make a poltice to put on fractures. That's why they call it " boneset.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 speaking of soil, if your ever in the need of good garden soil visit your local dumps. They usually have piles of composted leaves and stuff. of course you will also find the occasional plastic trash bag and other item in it but it makes excellent nutirent rich soil so much better then what you can buy in a bag at the store and it is free. what do you want for free. Did i say it is excellent it stays loose and light plants grow like crazy, easy to weed and doesn't get hard and clay like. You can also always ask them to drop a load of it off at your house again all for free. you just call up your town and ask for it. just thought i would mention it because you said your soil is bad. they also have freshly ground mulch too. > > > > Hi Terri, > > > > Comfrey has a deep taproot, so you're sure to get it all coming back again, even if you dig out all the roots.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Actually, it's allantoin. You were close! Interestingly, it is found in mammal urine and some plants, including comfrey. When you buy the ingredient, it is synthetically produced. Just another tidbit of info.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Beth, In most of the municipalities around this part of the state, the land fill is in a different location from the " composting facility " . Maybe we just have more garbage. These facilities accept only compostible materials. Most of them don't list a phone #, but they report to the municipality's Office of General Services which can give you their hours, etc. The ones around here don't deliver, but you can pick up as much as you want for free. Some people go with bucket, others with barrels or pickup truck and shovel. The city/town maintenance crews dump leaves and yard waste there and landscapers in the area dump there as well (sometimes for a fee). They have pretty sophisticated equipment for making mulch. Ours has a fine type and one with small wood chips. Some sell to landscapers as well (the fee is pretty much to cover loading their dump trucks) but it's almost always free to residesnts. Hi to all you who remember me. I rarely post because I read by digest at the end of the day---and all the questions I can answer have been answered. K Albany > > I had no idea!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 sorry had to do a bit of research and ask my father. Normally we just go to the dumps with our recycling bins and shovels but on occassion we have some dumped at the house if we need a whole lot. Which we will probably do when we redo our garden this year and tunr it into a raised garden. He said to try your public works authority people. They can probably tell you were to go. Or maybe some sort of refuse center. with us it is the same spot that you can drop off your leaves, tree branches, stones and bricks and so on. to the left of ours is where you drop your stuff off and to the right is where they have piles of mulch, wood chips, big chunks of tree you can cut yourself for fireplaces and of course dirt. oh and also sweeper stones ( the stones they sweep up after oiling and stoning the roads.) Another tidbit. if you have a zoo in the area they will take willow branchs of all varities and maple except red maple. they feed the branches to the animals especially the elephants. We learned that when we saw a pick- up truck from the zoo loading up on peoples trimed tree branches at the dumps. so if we have ours cut down we will give them a call next time. oh also if you need garden stones first check the dumps, people drop them off. We have picked up several for our gardens, as well as some nice garden plants. many people " shop " at the dumps now before going to the real stores. you never know what you can find for free. > > I had no idea!

In person one weekend a month for 9-10 months March thru November a good one is Green Witch in Salem Mass, Teri will be at conference. She could possibly be convinced to do a talk at a gathering. I would but I have applied to a show for that weekend. Also you could check out Susun Weed. She is in NY somewhere. LOL Betty Jane > > Very cool! All of my education is informal.
