as you can see we've got quite a few metals here and today I'm going to show you how to make metal plant food easy-peasy no problem really good stuff right so this is how to make the nettle plant food then what you need one pair of gloves without holes in secretaries shears and a bucket step 1 cup stinging nettles and place in bucket it's also a pretty good idea to wear a long sleeve shirt when you're doing this but I shall act are from hard and probably gets done step to get your shoes out and just go through them cut them up a little bit just make it a little bit smaller step three step four after you fill the bucket up and it's just above four nipples I put something heavy on it put it away somewhere and leave it for two weeks in true Blue Peter fashion I haven't got my badge on as I think it's around somewhere here some I made earlier and as you can see after two weeks it looks a bit like cooked spinach but a word of warning it absolutely stinks but it's a real gagger so you want to store it somewhere out the way fairly Airy that's what it looks like the liquid and so we sit this out in two bottles until we need to use it when we come to use it you dilute for one part of metal feed to ten parts of water now for some debate as to the plants you should and you shouldn't use it on it's full of nitrogen so it tends to be more beneficial to the green leafy plants I own use it myself on my runner beans squash courgettes and on the tomatoes then I use it about once a fortnight but you have to be careful and so on this link here I've listed some of the research I've done as to the plants you should and you shouldn't use it on
