Growing Comfrey in Massachusetts
Massachusetts offers diverse growing conditions for comfrey. In the western regions (Berkshires), the growing season is shorter with colder winters, while coastal areas enjoy milder conditions and a longer growing season. Comfrey adapts well to this range of conditions.
Massachusetts receives approximately 40-50 inches of precipitation annually, which is generally sufficient for established comfrey plants. However, during summer dry spells, particularly in sandy coastal soils, supplemental watering may be beneficial until plants are established.
Comfrey thrives in the state's generally acidic soils, though it appreciates some added lime in extremely acidic conditions. The plant's deep taproots help it access nutrients and moisture even in the rockier soils of western Massachusetts, making it an excellent addition to permaculture systems throughout the state.
