Making Fertilizer
« on: May 22, 2012, 15:09 »
Hi Everyone,

I know that a person can make fertilizer out of Comfrey and water.  Can the same be done with Nettles?  I seem to be over-run with them this year and I really need a home made fertilizer.  Our hens' contributions are already in use.  Thanks!
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!
