Does anyone use nettle tea?
 
We've seen some amazing reactions from putting it on all our plants. Now thatthe nettles are too mature to pick for human consumption, we pick the older stems and loosely fill a bucket. Fill the bucket with water & let sit a few days. Then water with the tea once a week or so and put the spent nettle leaves on the compost pile.
 
I'm not sure exactly what nutrients are being drawn out of the nettles, but just followed the advice of a friend on faith. So far so good!
