Nettle Spray/tonic
« on: May 07, 2004, 09:38:38 »
Cut back loads of nettles yesterday, (but left a load more for the wildlife!) put some in the compost heap (good activator) and the rest went into a dustbin and got covered with water to make liquid feed. There it shall sit for 2-4 weeks until very stinky!
I did read somewhere that you can make an aphid spray from this too, anyone tried it? If so, good or bad results?  Dottie P

Oh and for anyone that is interested! http://www.nettles.org.uk
