Natural pest control "Brenesseljauche" in Australia?
Hi to all aussi gardeners,
I have a question regarding pest control eg. aphids on roses. My mother is from germany and she told me to use "Brennessel" which is the plant/ leaf of a very comon plant in europe mixed in water and let it set for a while. I haven't found this plant here in Perth and wonder if it exists in Australia. It is a green leafy plant a weed in europe and it stings when it is touched with the bare skin. Unfortunately I don't know the englisch name but people from the UK will know it. It gives a bad rash for a while and the water mix will smell pretty bad too. But it is a fertiliser for the plants and gets rid of al the bugs. Can anyone tell me the englisch name and /or weather it is known in Australia? Thanks in advance Gabi |

Thanks in advance Gabi Sounded like Stinging Nettles from your description. A google search seems to indicate that, also. You can even buy it in powder form for use against pests etc. -- ant |
