Yeah!!! Love herbs. Great post. I love my medicinal herbs. Add comfrey. It's amazing for compost. It's also known as knit-bone (self explanatory) and it's very high in calcium so egg-cellent for your hens!

I was looking into it when @thelaundrylady featured it in her post how she uses for mulch and also liquid fertilizer.

I'm debating what to get the true comfrey or the russian comfrey and where to plant it as it can be like a weed if I get the true comfrey.

It would be great for the ladies for sure!

This post has been featured in the @offgrid-online Weekly Review #7. Thanks for sharing the contents and reasons for your herb patch :)

What a surprise! Thank you for stopping by and enjoying my herb patch!

Do you have mint in the ground? I know of a lot of great uses for mint, but have been afraid to put it in the ground since it is so invasive. I only have them in pots. Have you had any issues with your mint taking over everything if you have it in the ground? Would like to just let mint do its thing naturally, but I am afraid, lol.

Lol, I know! I have them in the ground on a raised bed close to the house. It does take over the patch if I let it. Just pick a spot that you're not too concerned it will take over :P

I love little herb gardens. Although, living by myself hasn't warranted for me to be keeping a large quantity of pots.

It reminds me how little I get for spending $2-3 at the store when I can pretty much spend minimum upkeep to basically have unlimited herbs.

They don't give you enough for $2-3. You can buy the plant in pot for less than that I think. Herb pots are great :)
