Definitely on my to do list - we are surrounded by nettles here!

Finally got round to watching the video - fantastic Richard, thanks for that! Very informative! Picking nettles in short sleeves - you're like the Danny Dyer of The Lane, tough guy +f+ :-D

Ah but George isn't hard enough to harvest nettles in short sleeves! Ok, the looks of Clooney paired with the hard as nails attitude of Dyer - what a combo!

Just seen this, Richard and very good destructions they are too. )t'

I however didnt have all the info when doing mine, so got a huge dustbin with lid, filled it up with huge nettles, didnt cut down, put water then bricks on top, then lid. Left for weeks and weeks and put it on everything. LOL Used a huge ladle (poss sp there) and put one ladle to a watering can of water and did it once a week and left the rotting nettles in situ, just added more water/nettles as needed.

Results were pretty darned good, but Terry - OH, didnt like the smell (maybe because he bumped into dustbin and it spilt on him) {rofwl} so banned me from doing it again! {mr.angry}
