Default Comfrey as a Green Fertilizer?

Computerman wrote in
. 13.2:

I have a small veg patch (48 sq ft) that is "tired" through, I
believe, not enough variety of crop, plus failure to rotate crops
sufficiently.

Someone has suggested a year under a green fertilizer and has
suggested comfrey. I know nothing about this and would welcome some
advice (ie can comfrey be used for this? If not, what alternatives
would you suggest?)

If this is a workable solution, can I rotovate comfrey into the soil
at the end of the season so that the garden is ready for veg next
spring?

TIA.


My sincere thanks to all who replied to this thread.

Something like Winter Tares looks like being a far better option.
