Whats growing on everyone! First time poster here so forgive me if I make any mistakes/post on the wrong forum.
So yesterday I went out with some friends and picked a bunch of nettles, I myself collected about 2kg worth (non dry) and chopped it up pretty good. I was only able to add about 10 litres of water to the container that the nettles were in, but will have a 5gallon bucket in the next day or two and will transfer to that.
What I was wondering -
1. Is the nettle fertilizer too potent at the moment, If so how much water do I want to soak 2kg of nettle?
2. Can I use a little bit of it now diluted with water 1:10, or do I have to wait for it to fully ferment 2 weeks? I wanted to water some of my cucumber/tomato plants ive been raising just to see how they would do.
3.How long does the solution keep for once fermented? If I kept it in the fridge would it last longer?
4 Once the solution is done, how often should I water my plants with it? Once every week, or is that to much?
Off to go tend to some plants, will be back later today/tomorrow to check up on the post!
