Nettle soup - does it go off ?
About a year or so ago my fella made some nettle soup - the garden feeding
kind - at the house he lived in then. He has since moved out but remains friendly with the landlady, as they were both gardeners. However, she wants him to finally come and remove the evil smelling ick that he left in two rain barrels ! He wants to bring it over to my garden and feed my toms and peppers with it, as where he lives now has no garden to speak of (if he wants to put that stuff in his car, even sealed in a suitable vessel - well, I wouldn't want to just in case it exploded or something, considering the age of this stuff ;-) ). I know most things benefit from nettle goodness and have fed two week old nettle soup to them before in the past but - I am wary that after such a long time that the stuff in the barrels might have gone over or become so evil that it might kill my plants stone dead, even with suitable watering down ! Is older better, as with a fine wine, or is year and a half old nettle ick just too much ? Apart from having to issue the neighbors and my poor dogs with gasmasks as a precaution, I can't imagine how this stuff must pong by now ... it was a fairly truculent little number when it was first made as I (and my roses who benefited from some of it then) recall. Any thoughts ? Rachael |
