Nettle manure is a magical product.
It serves both as a fertilizer and as an insect repellent.
The recipe for nettle manure is simple, as is its manufacture.
Making it yourself is not too complicated, but it takes quite a bit of time.
It would be a shame to have to throw it away! So how do you store nettle manure?
Fortunately, there is a simple trick to keep nettle manure for at least 12 weeks.
The trick is to filter it and keep it in airtight plastic containers . Watch:
1. Take a large sieve with a fine mesh.
2. Pour the nettle manure through to filter it.
3. Clear the manure of all nettle residue.
4. Distribute the liquid in well-sealed plastic containers.
5. Store containers in a cool place.
And There you go ! You can now keep your nettle manure for at least 3 months :-)
Not a bad shelf life, eh?
If you want finer filtering, use an old pantyhose so you don't let any nettle residue through.
Above all, do not use metal cans, as this mixture is very corrosive.
For a more practical side, pierce the bottom of the can with a small tap. It will allow you to serve yourself without having to open the can each time.
You now have nettle manure that you can use for the tomatoes. And if you want to know more about how to make and use it, check out the trick here.
