Has any member tried the pipe method for nettles, cheers Dave

[JimS]

I've tried lots of different tobaccos in my pipe Dave, but never Nettles...Sorry 

[Growster...]

I think it's a good idea to try it out, Dave, you only need a 2 litre pop bottle cut off at the bottom, and stood upright and covered.

Nettles tend to rot well in a bucket of water, the leaves are well gone at the end, but the stems need so much longer, that I just bung them on the compost heap to finish them off!

We always feed all our veg with nettle or comfrey tea, as well as some proper chemicals when necessary!

Thanks for that Growster, I will put the nettles through the shredder first to try and get a head start. We have a plastic container near to the back door and I used to throw the kitchen scraps in there before taking them up to the compost bins, sometimes they were forgotten about and a black/dark brown liquid would leak out, with hindsight I should have had a tray underneath to catch this black gold, Dave

I'm going for plastic nettle tea bags in my water butt

I've melted holes in the top bottom and all around. holes that line up with the lid and sides so I can cable tie and add a string to pull out when they need reloading.
