Why nettles, I don't know. I'd never thought of them as particularly
aphid prone.


They're into growth earlier, and the aphids they host -
nettle aphids are only interested in nettles. And so can
be encouraged in the garden without problems, while being
just as palatable to ladybirds, lacewings, hoveflies
and their respective larvae.
