I've got access to 100's if not 1000's of nettles.  What's the ratio of nettles to water in an averaged sized bucket?  How long do I leave it, does it have to be diluted etc.

There's a thread here that talks about nettle fertilizer

Kim asks about it about 4 posts from the bottom.

Get a barrel load if you can - they will also add value to your compost heap.

"Preparation. Use of the whole plant before flowering. Studies have shown that including the roots adds a fungicidal action to the extract. In fermented extract (the famous purin d'ortie), 2 lbs. of fresh plant in 2.5 gal. of water, fermented for a few days only. Dilute to 20% before using as soil drench or foliar feed. Use full strength as a natural herbicide (it kills with 'fertilizer burn' because it is so rich). "

Not sure how big a bucket you have so I can't say by bucketfuls
