I did indeed. BTW I have been partially vindicated. The day after I used
the nettle manure, we discovered that a nearby pump station had failed and
sewage was seeping out from the tank down our shared drive! Anyway, THAT
revolting problem has been sorted and my next batch of nettle manure has
been started.
Good for you - keep it up! :-)

I did wonder if it was worth chucking nettles into one of my water butts -
any views on that or am I just asking for trouble with a blocked tap?


I make mine in a 45 gallon drum. I fill a watering can about half full,
then top that up with rain-water from an adjacent rain butt. It is
better to have plain water available for when plants need it.
