Stinging Nettles

[bobc1941]

I believe that nettles can be a fertiliser if you soak them in water, how long do they have to be soaked and what do you do with the nettles after soaking ?

You can make nettle or comfrey fertilizer (often referred to as "tea") by roughly chopping the leaves and stems stuff them into an old onion sack, with 1/2 brick in the bottom, tie the top with a length of rope immerse into a rain butt (like a giant tea bag) and you should have a liquid feed in about 3 weeks.
It'l pong like heck but hey....its free.

plenty of tonnes of them here, along with that nasty wort, and other things like campions....and don't forget the blasted horse-flies. Can sell some to you......self-pick up though.
