Dear Mike,
Regarding the shell meal: how do you use it without compost tea?
Certified organic growers can't use compost tea after October of this
year.
Secondly, stinging nettles are a common weed, but if you don't have
them, try Richter's. I imagine other suppliers also have them. Hudson
would be a good source and Johnny's might even sell them. Their name
is: URTICA DIOICA.
