Frederick Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I know that chopped up stinging nettles left in a bucket of water to produce a dark green liquid will green up your lawn ..My brother in law uses it ..(.very good for the places a b.i.t.c.h has squatted if you can remember where she went ) to fix the browning patches ... I believe the liquid also if sprayed on kills mites, and aphids...I have got the lot .the nettles ..the brown lawn patches and the aphids . Has anybody tried spraying on this stuff ? ..does it work as a pesticide ? If so what sort of dilution ...use when light green... or after its stewed a few weeks and is going brown ?

odile Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 made my 'purin d'orties' 2 weeks ago - the smell only lasted for a few days. Now I dilute it to feed borders and troughs - great!Spotted a couple of huge clumps of comfrey/consoude in a neighbour's garden today. She is actually from Kent - so will go and beg for a few roots next week. Great for activating compost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerise Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 It works, but if you have animals please be careful. A friend's dog nearly died last year from drinking it, it is poisonous to them. So if you make it keep a cover on any standing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
