Never done so myself, altho have some comfrey growing to make next years nectar, but my lottie neighbour has a big bunch of nettles steeping in her waterbutt, and altho the smell is apparently vile, she reakons her veggies and plants are thriving on it!

Or manure tea.

Or dilute one part "liquid gold" to 20 parts water (high in nitrogen!) Maybe not for salad crops, though!

- "liquid gold" I use often in the back garden, otherwise on the plot, it goes into the compost heap! Which reminds me...... gtg.

Definitely with your fried there, EJ.  My first ever attempt at growing veggies was much assisted by the rest of the garden being overrun by nettles, to which I added loads of water and put in large barrel with very tight fitting lid.  As you say, the smell was awful, but I had the most amazing crops for a first timer!  Well worth a clothes peg on the nose!  :o
