nettle feed does it keep

I have made up a batch of nettle feed, I have strained it so I just have the liquid, does it keep when in an air tight container, or do I have to use it asap.Lillileaf

I kept some over winter till the this season, in regular 5lt drinking water bottles. It went a bit manky on top but I just shook it up and used it early season this year on my tomato and cucumber. Both are doing very well indeed up to now.

I don't exactly measure it, but I could say that 1 in 8 through to 1 in 10 sounds about right. On Tomato, Cucumber and Chillies , i only used it until flowering, then switched to Seaweed and also Burdock, leaf tea, which I constantly make through the summer. But in the garden and because my soil is very poor, on chard and lettuce I feed very regular with nettle tea, and again it is working quite well I think, considering how low in nutrients the garden is.
