Method
Pack fresh nettles into a bucket or other suitable
container. Fill with water and cover. Use roughly 2 lbs of
fresh nettles to 2 gallons of water. Leave for two weeks,
stir occasionally. Anaerobic bacteria will set to work and
produce a strong, unpleasant smell.
Strain the end result. Use one part nettle juice diluted
with 10 parts water to feed a wide variety of plants. It
is not, however, the most sweet smelling feed you could
desire!
The residue of nettle remains can be added to the compost
heap.
