One of my allotments is about 18" higher than someones garden, that it joins, so I planted a full row of Comfrey along the sloping edge. It is fairly poor soil and gets sun for about half the day. the plants have now just about joined up and do a wonderful job of the soil keep washing onto their path. I get 4 to 6 cuts a year, depending on the weather.
So I would say Colin, plant them where suits you best, as they will tolerate shade and poor soil....One thing I will say is, even the so called sterile varieties, seem to be setting a few seeds the last few years....so be prepared to dig the seedlings up early, as they can soon spread very quickly....
