- Gather Nettles: Use gloves to harvest nettles from areas where they haven’t been exposed to chemicals or pesticides.
- Prepare the Container: Place the nettles in your container and pour in the water, ensuring the leaves are fully submerged.
- Steep the Mixture: Cover the container loosely and let it sit in a warm place for 1–2 weeks. Stir daily to accelerate the breakdown of the nettles. A strong, pungent smell indicates it’s fermenting properly.
- Strain and Use: Once the liquid is a dark brown color, strain out the leaves and transfer the liquid into a watering can or spray bottle. The fertilizer is ready for use.
Application Tips:
- Dilute Before Use: Mix 1 part nettle fertilizer with 10 parts water to avoid burning plant roots.
- Apply Regularly: Water your plants with nettle fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
- Use as a Foliar Spray: Spray it directly on leaves to supply plants with an instant nutrient boost and improve pest resistance.
