Nettle manure
 

'Ullo all....

Well.....After about 3 weeks I reckoned my nettle manure was done....It had
all turned to this green goop and stank like the heavens....B-)

So....With thick rubber gloves..wellies and a gas mask I tiopped it all
into my watering can......And sprinkled the grass/basses or plants.....

Good grief......
The smell is BAD!!!!

No matter what peope said about it being bad I didn't believe them.....
Sheesh....I do now!

Anyone know how quick it dissipates?

I don't want my neighbours complaining at me!

Don't worry, ducks. I don't think you're in any danger of the
neighbours getting anywhere like *near* enough to complain at you ;)

I found the smell wore off the plants where I'd done foliar spraying
reasonably quickly ... maybe an hour or so ? Where I'd watered it onto
the soil, it seemed to linger a bit longer, but wasn't discernible by
the next day. As for my garage though, where I'm storing the finished
product in 2 litre plastic bottles ... well. I thought last year was bad
when the fox took to sleeping in there, but this has even *that*
olfactory horror well beaten ...

God I hope not!

Well.....I've just now been outside...
you can't smell it so much....Unless you crouch down....If you put your
nose near the grass you can....

Yeah....The patch where I had the stuff brewing still smells now....
I only hope it goes within a few days other wise my tomatoes may curl!

It wears off from ground/plants where you've watered it as soon as it
dries. Even tiny splashes on your clothes hair or skin can haunt you far
longer ;~}

I don't want my neighbours complaining at me!

OTOH, if one of them was having a noisy late night garden party...

Erk......I wore clothes that it didn't matter so I'm not too worried

They say that vengeance is sweet.....
Should that be changed to horrifically pungeant?
