Did my first batch of nettle manure. Today, I used it. The family
hastily
vacated the garden and are still barely speaking to me beyond "You
are NEVER
using that stuff again - EVER!" Although the wesbite warned that it
was
likely to be a bit whiffy, I was unprepared. Furthermore, I'm sure
said
site claims that the smell goes away pretty quickly. An hour later
and it
still pongs.

And there's a snail lying on his back in the area I fed. He keeps
trying to
turn over and then appears to change his mind. Obviously, it's too
much for
him too!

If may go off at a tangent: What is it that is special about nettles
as far as making an infusion is concerned? Can one not just dump
*all* one's green weeds in a barrel of water?
