Default Nettle faq dead link

The message
from Janet Baraclough contains these words:

It's a great liquid manure made by soaking a good armful or two of
fresh nettles in a barrel of water.Use a tightfitting lid because it
stinks. It's ready in 2 weeks, dilute with 4 parts clean water to use as
a liquid feed and foliar spray. It also deters insects, and (if it
splashes you) any close friends you may have had. You can make the same
thing using comfrey leaves, or a mix of the two.


Many of my weedings get put in a bucket. Any plants will do, though
nettles and comfrey are considered favourite.

I find that finished pelargonium heads make a nice brew. (FSVO 'nice')
