Comfrey is noted by both organic gardeners and herbalists for its
great usefulness and versatility. Of particular interest is the
'Bocking 14' cultivar of Russian Comfrey. This strain was developed
during the 1950s by Lawrence D. Hills, who founded the organic
gardening organization now known as Garden Organic. Lawrence D.
Hills was the world authority on comfrey. In this book, he wrote
for farmers and gardeners in all countries, showing how this useful
plant could be cultivated in both tropical and temperate zones to
produce a crop equally rewarding for gardener, smallholder and
mechanized farmer. Subtitled 'Past, Present and Future,' on its
publication in 1976, this was the most comprehensive survey of the
properties and cultivation of comfrey ever, and Comfrey remains
undoubtedly the essential book on the subject, as well as a lasting
testament to Lawrence D. Hills's indefatigable efforts to achieve a
better understanding of it.
