 Today I'm planting out root cuttings from a few comfrey plants that I dug up. 

Each 1 inch section of root will get the chance to produce 1 comfrey plant. The 4 plants I dug up will reshoot from the buried root sections that I couldn't harvest. 

As I was digging the comfrey up, I was reminded of how much the earth worms love hanging out in their roots.

The ice cream bean trees fix nitrogen from the air using bacteria while producing a lot of bio mass. Some will become mulch & some will be turned into charcoal. The comfrey breaks up the soil & locks nitrogen into it's leaves (more bio mass).

Working on your own stuff is nice but having nature work for you is even better.
