Just looked up on the internet and nettles were used to make tablecloths and sheets in Scotland. Widely used by the German army in First World War when there was a shortage of cotton. It is a very versatile plant, used in medicine and in soup and can be cooked as a green veg. Must get some buddleia for the butterflies. Best get off this computer and go and pick some more nettles.
We just put a stuffed net bag in the buttof cold water and when it starts to smell(about a fortnight) We use about 6 to 1 dilution or about.
