Making plant food from nettles

Wear suitable gloves and pick some stinging nettles and put them into a bucket.

 

 

 

 

Place a rock on top of the nettles so that the nettles don,t float when you add water.

 

 

 

 

Cover the nettles with water.

 

 

 

 

Place a lid on top (I used plant pot tray) and weigh it down with another rock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place the bucket outside your green house and leave to ferment (do not put it inside as it will smell awful after a couple of weeks. Once it is nice and smelly, you can add some of the liquid to your watering can when you water your plants (do not use it on indoor plants because it smells too much).  Mrs. Madden.

  1. Anneliese would like to know if we can then eat the nettles? She tells me she could live in the wild and eat nettles no problem. Miss Stapleton taught her to pick them without being stung.
