Allotment Gardening

Hi,

does anyone know if Comfrey holds blight?

I have a plastic drum full of cuttings from last year that have rotted down nicely that I was going to put down in my potato trenches in a few weeks.
I also have some comfrey tea from last year that I was going to use on my tomatoes.

One of the guys at the allotment mentioned that he was told that comfrey holds blight and as we all got potato blight last year on our allotment he was ditching his comfrey cuttings and tea from last year as they will all be full of blight spores.

Anyone heard of this before?

Cheers,

Stooby.

If It's true, then It's news to me. I put a lot of comfrey on my spud beds both as fresh cut leaves in the trenches and tea feed for the leaves. I've done this for many years and Last year was the first time I've had blight. I blame the wet weather, not the comfrey.
