FREE Fertiliser!
Stinging Nettles make a great nitrogen rich fertiliser for your plants.
Its super easy to make and they are can be foraged abundant at this time of year.
Grab an old pair of tights, stockings or long sock and stuff it full with Nettles, tie the end tightly and then submerge it in a big bucket or barrel of water.
I leave mine for about a week to brew and then remove the stocking, before the brew goes anaerobic and too smelly.
Nettles provide Nitrogen, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Copper, Zinc... and some essential vitamins too.
If you've used a smaller bucket, you'll need to water the mixture down before feeding to your plants, in a large water butt like this I just fill a can straight up and apply to any medium sized plants.
In a few week I'll do the same using Comfrey leaves instead, this will give a good bigger boast of Potasium, which your tomatoes, Aubergines and Peppers will love as they begin to form their fruits.
Happy gardening folks - have a great weekend 💚✌️🌿
