Nettle is known for its ability to quickly crowd out garden crops from the garden. Having collected this weed, many summer residents try to throw it away as soon as possible. However, there is no need to rush to get rid of this green mass, because it can be used to prepare two excellent garden products at once.

You can turn nettles into a great fertilizer or pest control liquid by pouring plain water over the weeds.
But it is necessary to use certain parts of the plant. Also, one should not forget about the correct ratio of solid and liquid components.
How to turn nettles into fertilizer
Top dressing can be prepared on the basis of nettle stems. They should be young. This mass should be finely chopped and sent to a bucket. Water should be poured into this container. The volume of the ingredients should be approximately equal.
The nettle infusion will be ready in about half a month. A sign of readiness is the darkening of the liquid.
