The first nettle harvest of the year. Nettle soup will be on tomorrow’s menu and I’ll start making some nettle fermented plant juice too.
Good food for us and good food for the plants.
Nettles are a great addition to a compost heap too. #GrowYourOwn #Allotment #Gardening
@Broadfork tell me more about the fermented nettle drink?
@magnus Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ) is a commonly used Korean Natural Farming method to provide low cost plant available fertiliser from plants for plants.
Pick the plant material on a dry day and don’t rinse it before making, as water reduces the indigenous microorganisms (IMO) on the leaves.
Nettles are a dynamic accumulator plant and FPJ made with them will add a lot of nutrition to young plants.
Dilute 1:500 to 1:1000 with rainwater. It can be added weekly as a foliar feed.
@Broadfork amazing, I heard about people in France doing something like that, but the story was that it was somehow criminalized after pressure from Big Agriculture
@magnus Not heard that before, very bizarre to criminalise something as naturally organic like FPJ.
