well if anybody's near Southwest Missouri I've got two piles from the last two years and this one started in February made up of llama poop goat poop hay and shavings. I really wish I had a manure spreader

Got a tractor with a front end loader? We both are talented enough to get a scoop then jiggle the FEL to spread out mulch or compost. Then run a disc over it.

I do recall that it is invasive. Looks like Coe's has that covered:
"Unlike wild and common comfrey, Bocking* #4 and #14 Russian Comfrey are domesticated, non-invasive variants of Russian Comfrey.

Bocking comfrey plants do not spread or seed, and can remain where they are planted for years."

the kind my friend has just has a big long row that she's had in the same place for years. just amazing how she can cut it down and it grows back up.
she recently gave me some root pieces to plant and I'm in the process of trying to establish my own bed of comfrey.

I will take a picture of my friends plants when I go there this afternoon they look a bit different. I have a couple first leaves on mine that have a leaf up, but not enough to really tell what they are yet. So I'll take pictures of hers.
