Nettles spread through underground roots which store water and nutrients,that's why if you dig them up you should make sure you get all the roots,and if you leave a small bit of root that will eventually shoot over time
Can anyone tell me how it is nettles and docks manage to survive?I never water them, I swear at them constantly, step on them all the time yet there they are defiant and ready to sting in an instant..The OH is ready to go to war, can anyone recommend a weed killer that would be the arch enemy of the Nettle please. :-\
Are nettles swished a treatment for arthritis? I keep threatening SiL with a swish of them as he has extremely painful knees.
My post was `tongue in cheek`-I do not actually sell nettles to ladies of easy virtue,I remember it being mentioned years ago in an episode of Crib(a Victorian detective)But I do believe nettles,or a cream based on the active ingredient can be beneficial for arthritis.
