Comfrey is a fantastic ingredient for compost. So don't dig it up! Put the leaves (not the roots) on the pile. This may not help your epiphytic orchids, but it'll sure the give your garden a boost. Maybe your terrestrial orchids too (cymbidiums?), though I think someone more knowledgeable in growing them should comment.
