Default nettles

SBK will kill nettles and grass. However the nettles will not survive mowing
on a regular basis.
Nettles are a good indication of a very fertile soil.
Introduced [allegedly] by the Romans for their fibres that make a coarse
cloth. The fibres are rough to handle and hence the story of the Princess
who had to weave coats for her brothers to change them from swans etc.

om...
We have an old garden that has almost been taken over by nettles. We
want to kill the nettles but not the grass. Will SBK do this, please?
Also I remember reading that one of the herbicides degrades to
fertiliser, is this correct, and is it SBK?
Thanks for your help
