The Nature Boost for your Plants

Nettle has long been used as a biological plant fertilizer and has been used by our ancestors. Stinging nettle is also helpful in the fight against various pests, especially aphids. It can be used for balcony and garden plants as well as indoor plants but especially for cannabis. The beauty of this natural product is that it is free, because stinging nettle grows almost everywhere in abundant numbers wildly in nature. Especially in the outdoor area, but also indoors, nettle jug is a very good and fortifying cannabis fertilizer for growers who want to produce their own biologically and with complete self-control fertilizer. Stinging nettle can also be used in addition to many fertilizer systems as plant and root starch. The manure is perfect for the growth phase of cannabis plants and contains many trace elements and nitrogen. If you add horsetail to the manure, you get a real biological power fertilizer that makes the plants strong and protects against disease.

Establish nettle manure
The preparation of the nettle is not difficult and completely uncomplicated. The following things are needed:
Gloves
Scissors
Fresh stinging nettle, as well as horsetail
Water
a Bucket

Metal vessels should not be used when applying the nettle jets, since this can lead to chemical reactions with the liquid. First, the bucket with coarse cut stinging nettle (+ possibly horsetail) filled. The nettle plant can be used completely, so leaves and stems. The bucket is now filled to the brim with water. It is best to use rainwater for this purpose. Then the bucket is covered with a net or grid to prevent animals from falling into the bucket and drowning. In addition, a cloth can be placed over it, that no dirt enters the manure.

The prepared liquid should now be stirred daily until the whole begins to ferment. By stirring, enough oxygen gets into the liquid, which is needed for the fermentation process. As soon as the mixture begins to ferment, bubbles and foam are formed and a rather strong smell is created. That's why many gardeners like to stow their nettles in the back corner of their garden. If you put the bucket in the sun, the fermentation process is faster. A few drops of valerian in the broth can soften the odor.
After about 2-3 weeks, no bubbles form. The liquid has turned dark and can now be used as natural fertilizer. The tub with the manure should always be closed loosely (-> danger of explosion if hermetically sealed!)

How do I fertilize with nettle?
Larger plants are more likely to tolerate a higher concentration of nettle soils, so more is added to irrigation water than small and young plants.
1) Seedlings and young plants are fertilized with 1 part of manure and 20 parts of water -> 0.5 liters of manure for 10 liters of water
2)Large plants get a ratio of 1:15 to 1:10, depending on the variety. They should not and need not be supplied with additional slurry each time they are watered. In between watering again and again only with water.

The manure is also efficient when it is diluted and should of course not be used in its purest form because it would be too strong for the plants and would burn them.

I hope you will succeed as much as I do
