I left about 40ltrs of nettle manure in plastic 2ltr milk cartons outside
over winter. On opening it today with the usual dread I was pleasently
surprised to find absolutely no niff at all from it, it's still the same
colour and some of it still has 'bits' in. Im wondering now if the
'goodness' has gone with the smell or is it still good to use. Anyone any
idea?

Your nettle infusion will probably still be just as effective for
providing plant nutrients, but it may have lost some of its insect
repellent properties.

This is a good time for taking young nettle leaves to begin a new batch.
