Aloha,
> Have any of our tropical comrades tried Ramie as a nettle subsitute?
I've heard the name, but I don't know what it is, don't think I've seen
it. What is it?
Substitute for what - all nettle uses, or...?
In Hawai'i there's nettle - 'mamaki' is the Hawaiian name, and it has no
sting. It does have the medicinal properties, and can grow to be a
medium-large bush.
