Those look different than the kind around here, that have serated leaf edges, and lots of micro sized stingers.. Heads up..Here they can get like 10+ ft tall. I know there are a smaller variety and they can get white flowers, but anyway.. make sure you identify any plants correctly before consuming. I'm sure you can ferment a lot of different live plants into fertilizer teas, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urtica_dioica is especially good though with its high concentrations, and because it prefers rich soils.I found these at the edge of my yard. They are just coming on here. I am just letting them get a little bigger although there are shit tons of them. I never knew you could eat them or feed plants. Thanks for the tip
You can use it against powdery mildew, mites, septoria, root rot, fungal issues, and a host of other or other kinds of plant disease\pests. It attracts the good kinds of bugs instead too. Cool huh?
Not to mention, I guess its one of a few plants that can directly tolerate rich chicken shit, which is awesome to know. I been working on a mobile coop that will eventually have NFT hydro systems all across the various roof sections, and was wondering if I could grow greens from the shit brewed into an organic tea or something. Maybe I'll figure out some way to grow them instead! Eggs and nettles from the same trailer
