Comfrey

I've found that freezing it works the best for me. It keeps the leaves fresh & green, the leaves seperate easily and breakdown time is much, much shorter.
Mainly, it's used for worm food, along with used coffee grounds and the resulting VC is used for top dress. Let the worms add their own magic to this very special plant.

Awesome, thanks bud.
Another question, in a contained compost and worm bin (indoor) will worms naturally reproduce or will I need to source cocoons instead of just live worms?

I got the comfrey in the earth outdoors and it flourishes!
Oh, yeah! They reproduce quite well. They have both male & female reproductive organs and if no partner is handy, no problem. They can DIY.

There is a Korean Natural Farming technique called Fermented Plant Juice "FPJ" and comfrey is a popular plant to use for it. I made a batch with a roma tomato plant and it was the best thing that I have ever used! It's basically a blood transfusion for plants and the brown sugar feeds the microbes. You will get the auxins, enzymes, and vitimins that you might lose to composting. I'm just offering suggestions...
