RE: Ollas Update: Self Watering Garden System Pots

in #dsnapplus6 years ago

Great!

What an awesome idea with comfrey, and look at your comfrey plants too! What good looking plants all around.

The wind in our area is bad too and it seems to just suck everything dry. I'll almost certainly be using ollas in some beds this year.

Sort:  

Yes, the comfrey patch is right next to the compost for a reason...... Great, stoked you'll be using them too - we are the big experimenters, aren't we!

EVERYTHING is an experiment!

How long will it be before my baby comfrey are that big? I'm thinking of buying some seeding variety so they'll take over the world and make people really mad after we move out of this house 😂

Hahaha they will die off in winter... the roots stay in soil ready for Spring. Not sure how long bit once they are grown they just come back that big every year.

They die in the winter? I thought they were hardy plants!

Should I cut and harvest before they all die? Some are still sprouting new growth, well past first frost. And third frost.

Mine don't, wonder if it's a different variety. Hmm. I do harvest for the compost and comfrey tea.
