apart from relief from nettle attack ?

I've been making weed tea, so I suppose thats one purpose ?

Hello Fatfish and welcome to the forums, im not sure what you can do with the dock leavesi put them in my compost bin. Someone will be along soon to give more help.

Dock ROOTS would make better tea and/or compost. If composting, make sure your heap gets HOT or alternatively dry them in the sun before adding.

why the root WG ? I guess it contains more stored energy ?

Nutrients and especially minerals. (Plus it kills the dock)
