That is certainly comfrey you’ve spotted there. It doesn’t seem to spread much but there is no getting rid of it. I planted my shed on one clump and it is now lifting it above its foundations.

Wow, great progress. I think we’re going backwards at the moment…
Do I notice a big clump of comfrey in some of your photos? I’m rueing the day I ever planted mine – it’s so invasive.

Sounds like a plan even we could master … replace the scragglies!

I was told to refresh them even more often but I haven’t a clue what the optimum period is. I think I will just replace a few of the scraggier looking plants each year.

It all looks very productive – we just planted our first strawberry bed. How often do you ‘renew’ your plants? We’ve been told every three, four or five years … but which?

What a transformation. Your shed is looking very classy – I’ve just got one for our plot and it’s currently the bog standard orange-brown colour. I feel inspired.
